“Don't make idols of human beings. The cult of celebrity is a big part of why we're in the mess we're in as a society-- b/c we worship images of fame & fortune often in absence of substance. I'm not saying don't be a fan or don't have a hero. I'm saying don't worship human beings.”

“The racial wealth gap is not simply a byproduct of racism. It is the *goal* of racism. Racism has always served to maintain a permanent black underclass of unpaid or underpaid labor while wealth/resources are concentrated among a 'white' elite.”
