- Okay.
- So.
if I gave everyone five minutes to sort of brainstorm what we can do to resist anti-Blackness, we would all come up with something and we could probably all come up with stuff that actually would move the needle.
The solutions haven't changed over the course of time, and so, it's not a how-to problem, it's a want-to problem.
- So, you're saying people don't want to combat anti-Blackness?
- I'm saying people, it's incomprehensible, but, yeah.
No, and there are, of course, the extremes who are actively anti-Black.
I focus more on the folks who are passively anti-Black.
- Okay.
- What does that mean?
It means, if the system is operating as it was intended and you don't do anything to resist that system, then you are passively going along with an anti-Black system.
