But if I were to answer you very simply, I would say this: why shouldn’t I be interested? That is to say, what blindness, what deafness, what density of ideology would have to weigh me down to prevent me from being interested in what is probably the most crucial subject to our existence, that is to say the society in which we live, the economic relations within which it functions, and the system of power which defines the regular forms and the regular permissions and prohibitions of our conduct. The essence of our life consists, after all, of the political functioning of the society in which we find ourselves. So I can’t answer the question of why I should be interested; I could only answer it by asking why shouldn’t I be interested?”

One of the things I love the most about my job is that my hard work does not fatten a rich white man’s pocket. In fact, it does the opposite. My hard work results in taking from that pocket and having that money be put back where it belongs, in the pockets of the workers who slaved away for it and earned it.
I hope that I never, out of necessity, have to work to make a rich white man richer, but instead that I continue on the path that I am now, a path that is the complete opposite.
