The fact that we still see this( dehumanization of Blackness) is, I think, proof that we've not really come that far, i wish that I had a silver lining. But I think that we're going to continue to see these kinds of narratives play out because they're so effective, ultimately( at reinforcing existing power structures).

As the murder of George Floyd drew attention worldwide to police abuse of Black men, we must also remember that police violence comes in many forms—including through the dehumanization that results when officers treat Black men like criminals.

It was very refreshing when Anthony Bourdain came here. It was very revealing that after the segment aired and when Anthony Bourdain talked about Palestinians that Anthony Bourdain made sure to mention the issue of dehumanization, that Palestinians had been deprived of their humanity, anthony Bourdain saw Palestinians as human beings -- it's sad we have to say this in this day and age, that someone saw us as human beings, but Anthony Bourdain did and that for me was very powerful.
