Sublime

The word, admittedly,

Matthew Higgs, the director of White Columns, the oldest artist-led exhibition space in New York.

Malcolm was the first political pragmatist I knew, the first honest man I’d ever heard. He was unconcerned with making the people who believed they were white comfortable in their belief. If he was angry, he said so. If he hated, he hated because it was human for the enslaved to hate the enslaver, natural as Prometheus hating the birds.

policing as we know it exists for the defense of property relations, for the protection of retail and touristic spaces of consumption and processes of metropolitan real estate valuation and development, and for the regulation of relative surplus populations who are deemed threats to this accumulation regime.

Malcolm gave himself an extraordinary education: Herodotus, Kant, Nietzsche, H. G. Wells’s History of the World, W. E. B. Du Bois’s Souls of Black Folk, Gregor Mendel’s Findings in Genetics, J. A. Roger’s Sex and Race, Will Durant, Mahatma Gandhi, and so on.
