No time to watch this yet today, but from your excerpts I find it interesting that, presently, success should be measured in terms, basically, of assimilation, rather than to challenge the system(s) into which blacks are expected to assimilate.

We need to flip everything around and challenge conventions, cuz conventions are serving the wrong people.
