This thinking:
Activist minister Malik Shabazz said black cities are under attack all over the state.
"We understand we have financial difficulties," Shabazz said. "Give us the help we want, need and deserve, not the help you want to impose on us. We don't want an emergency manager or a consent decree. This is white supremacy and we will fight you.
"Before we let you take over our city we will burn it down first," Shabazz said. [source]Just what help do you "deserve?" Money from Whites? Sure. What else? More money next year?
Well, Rev. Shabazz, this you have to earn... and that's one thing you haven't done.
But maybe his idea of burning the city down is not all bad. That would be the culmination of his life's work.
