Rereading Jane Guyer's "Marginal Gains: Monetary Transactions in Atlantic Africa" for class next week. When I first read it, I could feel the scales falling from my eyes.

“Why do white #liberals ask us to be #nonviolent? We are not the #aggressors; we have been #victimized for over 300 years! Yet nobody spends #money to go into the South and ask #racists to be martyrs or #pacifists.
