We Have Nothing To Lose by YahNé Ndgo
Part One of Two – Rising in the minds of marginalized communities that are fighting for our lives and liberation is the conviction that it is time to slip the noose of white allegiance and focus on solidifying our connections to each other. Efforts to work with the white left have thus far been as fruitful as those to protect the West African Black Rhino or the Baiji Dolphin from extinction. History tells us that the expectation that we will secure progress of any substance through such efforts is as realistic as thinking we can weather a major hurricane on the beach if we just have the right umbrella.
