Copy of tweet thread here: 3/ Clearly, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. perceived the spiritual role and significance of African-American suffering to the larger American Project. Did he also anticipate the world, in its entirety, would one day pivot upon the transfiguration of Black American experience? Quote tweet: Couple of thoughts. First, “Those who commit the murders write the reports.” - Ida Bae Wells. As with so much else, supremacist denial mimetically and automatically defines the content, structure and direction of the dominant attention span, religious emphasis included.
Last words, from Rene Girard: “...beyond all that disfigures it in our eyes, the truth of the victim that we at last possess is the greatest, most fortunate event in the history of religion and the whole of humanity.” @unitethepoor /end
