Words For Warfare
"A world of perfect harmony would be lovely, but until the rapture comes I'd rather blue-collar types of all races faced off against us "suits" than one race against the other. There is nothing logical, natural, or beneficial about a world organized by race—the very concept is irrational. Any system divided along racial lines, implicitly or overtly, will be immoral, inefficient, and unstable. (Take, for example, poor whites' hatred of slaves, rather than of slavery, for depressing wages.) Class conflict, on the other hand, is natural and rational." - Debra Dickerson

Therein lies the problem people are rarely rational but driven by propaganda and emotion.
Love DD, but this sister has some serious self hate issues.
I thoroughly enjoyed the End of Blackness and I can appreciate her unapologetic take on race issues.
Excellent quote though. She writes fire and when she is in the zone, she lets you have it! I loved her response to the Senate apology for slavery.
Hear hear
