"But the change will come only when we have slammed the system up
against the wall and stared it down, and made it responsive to us. It is
not unpatriotic to criticize one's country. It is essential. I think of
the wife of a drunk who covers, apologize, and makes excuses for him
because she loves him too much, and thereby enables him to continue in
his oppression and destruction. In the same way we must stop enabling
our system to continue its injustices because, we too, love it so
unconditionally that we fail to demand it reform, that is, be
responsible." -
