I have engaged in hyper-male culture, and I'm learning about it, and I'm learning how I can change and help young boys and young men change.
Nate Parker
You can be addicted to White Supremacy and all of the benefits, you can be addicted to male privilege and all of the benefits that comes from it. It's like someone pointing at you and you have a stain on your shirt and you don't even know it.
Nate Parker
I got work to do. I got a lot of work to do within myself.
Nate Parker
And when I say dominate, I just mean work harder than anyone else could possibly work at it.
Nate Parker
Trying to convince someone that they are a racist or they have White Privilege - if it's in the air they breathe and the culture supports them, sometimes they never have to think about it at all.
Nate Parker
