Choosing love over hate does not mean there's kumbaya and warm feelings all round. Seems like #MLK should always be contextually read with #JamesBaldwin (& #MalcomX), bc they understood love, and it isn't letting #whiteness set the terms of inclusion, forgiveness, community, because if it does, love will still be exclusive, still reinscribe white dominance as the underlying sociopolitical and onto-epistemological structures. Love & riots aren't exclusive. See also #FrantzFanon, #SylviaWynter.
