We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don’t even show up because we need you to represent that voice.
"O! save us, we pray thee, thou God, from the devouring hands of white christians...the whites have murdered us, Oh God! we believe that, for thy glory's sake, thou will deliver us, thou will effect these things, thy glory must be sought
oh God, how we suffer. we your servants are ensnared in a tragedy that doesnt end. we cannot convince them that we are your children and dont deserve punishment. oh God, we are at complete despair
how can we possibly combat the blindness of white men who are so deeply invested in their own privilege that they cannot afford to see how they suffer" - Reverend Jeremiah A Wright
Obama left Wright's church because of this particular passage!
