Na Quirk
"The habit of considering racism as a mental quirk, a psychological flaw, must be abandoned. . . . The racist in a culture with racism is normal. He has achieved a perfect harmony of economic relations and idealogy.

Essential Change Was Heralded
"Nor should we kill Madiba," said Botsotso.
"You're twisting my words again!" I said. "What I said was that if he's released from prison he'll use his biblical stature to sanctify an accommodationist stance through which cosmetic changes would be heralded as essential changes-and the revolution would be up shit's creek! We need his legacy but we don't need him."

Michelle On Risk of U.S.
In Obama's 2nd Trayvon speech, and remember it did take TWO, he echoed Michelle's line of thought: 'hey...it could have been me'. Isn't this defeatist. The Same thing in his Henry Louis Gates speech, (before he bumped his head and called a white cop 'stupid'), he first said 'you know, that could have been me in my house'.
So they mean: 'We run the risk of being niggerized by being here in the US (i.e. where racism-yt supremacy-in it's most lethal form 'lives'). We were not raised to let the fear of that paralyze us.'
How much further though is it to move from not being afraid of it, to actually moving to stop racism-yt supremacy Directly?
It is a long long way.
How Different?

Interference
A huge part of white supremacy and white culture is about interfering in the affairs of black people.

Yt Back Thorn, Old Fear

"This waking up. This sharpened focus. This 'wait a damn minute'. What this girl POSITS to do in response to the reality of her environment ( It is at the core of what racism-white supremacy FEARS ABovE ALLL. Any growth or widening of this instinct(?) is at the core of what the 'actually power-over' of this day and time FEAR. That fear, manifests directly in all of the treatments of African descended people in all the times we have seen and see. ...from the movement/restriction of our bodies (including minds) to the life-troubling circumscription of our dreams and hopes as a naked upright species walking on the surface of this planet in clothes."
