Charles Blow Mocks Whites Marching in BLM Protests: Racial Justice Will Only Be Solved Through ‘Power’

‘We have to change who has power, who has access to power’

EXCERPT:

BLOW: “Those days are over. We’ve had 400 years of waiting for white America to do right by black people. For white Americans to simply not to give, but to simply say, all human beings are equal human beings, deserving of equality in a society and equal access to opportunity and political engagement. White America for 400 years has failed to sufficiently and fully do that. And no amount of going out with a placard and then going back to brunch is going to solve that. That is solved by power. People think that white — that white supremacy and racism is only about how I feel about you. No, it’s about power. If you — Stokely Carmichael said, 'If a man wants to lynch me, that’s his problem. If he has the power to lynch me, now that’s my problem.' We have to change who has power, who has access to power, who controls that power, and who that power is accountable to.”
