This is a clip from the newly released film, "Vocabulary of Change" featuring Angela Davis and myself in dialogue, in May, 2011. In this brief clip, I am discussing the importance of allyship and solidarity in the struggle against oppression. The full DVD can be purchased here. Please know, I do not make money off sales of this film generated from the internet, so I post this not for commercial purposes, but because I think the content of the film and our discussion might be of serious interest to kossacks, so, take a look beneath the squiggly thing...
In this clip, I'm responding to a point Angela had just made regarding several Muslim Imams who had been ejected from a plane because their presence made others nervous. I suggest that unless non-Muslims who are outraged by that kind of thing are prepared to physically protest the mistreatment by getting off the plane our/themselves, and standing in solidarity -- or in other situations, to put our/themselves and our/their own conveniences and comforts on the line -- it is unlikely that other members of the dominant group will rethink their prejudices.
