My name is David Curley. I am a member of the Black
Lives Matter Action Team at BUF.
These thoughts have been inspired by Labor Day.
1. I believe that racism has always been used to
defend money and power.
2. The fundamental strategy behind racism is divide
and rule, seeking to set the interests of poorer whites against minorities,
and to isolate minorities one from another.
3. The radical strategy against racism is solidarity.
Essentially it means, honor each other’s picket lines and go to each other’s
picnics.
4. For someone privileged like me to practice solidarity
means that I have to put my status, money and power at risk.
