I think of all the years I waste time trying to show my humanity and prove “I am not like those other black people” by playing respectability politics when I go back and read the wise words of Malcolm X stating “I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don’t believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn’t want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn’t know how to return the treatment.”
