Abhijit Naskar
“I ain't your nigger, I am your trigger - trigger for revolution whenever there is oppression - trigger for ascension whenever there is assumption - trigger for assimilation whenever there is discrimination.”
Abhijit Naskar, Bulldozer on Duty

Layla F. Saad
“Yes, outwardly racist systems of oppression like chattel slavery, apartheid, and racial discrimination in employment have been made illegal. But the subtle and overt discrimination, marginalization, abuse, and killing of BIPOC in white-dominated communities continues even today because white supremacy continues to be the dominant paradigm under which white societies operate.”
Layla F. Saad, Me and White Supremacy / Natives Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire
