We have examples of black language and rhetoric being taken and bastardized and warped by white people dating back to the civil war, it's one of the most common tactics to make black people look stupid. You don't even have to look far back. "Woke" is no longer a serious term. The Black Power movement was met with White Power, and got us wasting energy in explaining how one is racist and the other isn't. Black nationalism was adopted and warped to white nationalism, to the same result. Black lives matter to all lives/blue lives/white lives matter. You get it. Intersectionality might as well be a bullet point on the list of buzzwords for Republicans to say they're going to fight. It was critical race theory for a year or two. Now it's diversity. We've even seen the "I have a dream" speech used to justify racism. It truly feels like we have nothing to ourselves, no self determination, not even our own words.

I love James Baldwin simply because he validates my existence. He already (and more eloquently) thought, said and wrote everything I want to—but with those things having already been thought, written and said, it’s up to those who’ve come after him to work to affect change.
