I DON’T HATE WHITE PEOPLE. I hate the system of white supremacy that gives them asymmetrical power & unmerited privilege.  I DON’T HATE COPS. I hate the pattern of police brutality that systematically harasses & kills black people & other people of color with impunity. I DON’T HATE SOLDIERS. I hate the horror of war that terrorizes the most politically and economically vulnerable among us. I DON’T HATE RICH PEOPLE. I hate the system of capitalism that creates an elite 1% at the expense of the rest of us. It is precisely because of my love for humanity that I get enraged at system’s that prevent people from flourishing & being free. It’s frustrating to see my righteous anger at unjust systems interpreted as hatred for individuals, but it’s more frustrating to see the oppressed suffer while those maladjusted to injustice remain silent. I WON’T BE SILENT. SILENCE IS VIOLENCE.
