"We generally refuse to put the interests of Black people first and foremost. We love a world that does not love us back. We are afraid to be called racists. Me, I don't mind. I have absolutely no interest in exploiting, oppressing or taking advantage of other people. But I will not subordinate the interests of Black people to anyone. I love Black people. I love my own Black self. I love our fathers and our mothers. And I will never relinquish that love. Nor will I apologize for it. Call me a racist if you like. I am for the empowerment of Black people all over the world. Call it my pledge of allegiance." -Runoko
