Why do white people seem to find it so difficult to understand that the Negro is sick and tired of having reluctantly parceled out to him those rights and privileges which all others receive upon birth or entry in America? I never cease to wonder at the amazing presumption of much of white society, assuming that they have the right to bargain with the Negro for his freedom. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in this great interview (playboysfw.kinja/martin-luther-king-jr-a-candid-conversation-with-the-n-1502354861/1680377407/+maxread) All parts of this quote apply in every place where a dominant majority gets to dictate the terms of life for minorities. I am hopelessly dreaming of a day when humans realize the value of global citizenship and the specialness of being part of one species w as much diversity as ours. Until then, the stupidity of our conflicts grows unchecked as do the injustices we impose on one another in an endless cycle to some constantly-renewed bullshit end.
