White people's violence is accepted, embraced, negotiated and even backed by the state (e.g., Trump bombing an Iran school that killed 175 children), BUT God forbid Black people defend themselves.
It's time we talk about the privilege of violence.
When any white man in the world says "Give me liberty or give me death", the entire white world applauds
When a black man says exactly the same thing, word for word, he's a criminal & treated like one and everything possible is done to make an example of him —James Baldwin
