I don’t understand. Am I some kind of jokester? I’m supposed to be funny?! Or am I the one looking at the world around me and laughing?

Who is laughable? What is laughable?
Am I here to amuse Merriam-Webster?! Am I a joke?!

As the graph below shows, in the majority of cases mostly disadvantaged neighborhoods have gained a singular foothold in relation to the MSA through higher-than-MSA homeownership rates.

At the same time, in over 30 percent of the cases, this single foothold is lower-than-MSA poverty rates.

Robert Hayden, man.
El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X) O masks and metamorphoses of Ahab, Native Son I The icy evil that struck his father down and ravished his mother into madness trapped him in violence of a punished self struggling to break free. As Home Boy, as Dee-troit Red, he fled his name, became the quarry of his own obsessed pursuit. He conked his hair and Lindy-hopped, zoot-suited jiver, swinging those chicks in the hot rose and reefer glow. His injured childhood bullied him. He skirmished in the Upas trees and cannibal flowers of the American Dream- but could not hurt the enemy powered against him there. II Sometimes the dark that gave his life its cold satanic sheen would shift a little, and he saw himself floodlit and eloquent; yet how could he, "Satan" in The Hole, guess what the waking dream foretold? Then false dawn of vision came; he fell upon his face before a racist Allah pledged to wrest him from the hellward-thrusting hands of Calvin's Christ- to free him and his kind from Yakub's white-faced treachery. He rose redeemed from all but prideful anger, though adulterate attars could not cleanse him of the odors of the pit. III Asalam alaikum! He X'd his name, became his people's anger, exhorted them to vengeance for their past; rebuked, admonished them, their scourger who would shame them, drive them from the lush ice gardens of their servitude. Asalam alaikum! Rejecting Ahab, he was of Ahab's tribe. "Strike through the mask!" IV Time. "The martyr's time," he said Time and the karate killer, knifer, gunman. Time that brought ironic trophies as his faith twined sparking round the bole, the fruit of neo-Islam. "The martyr's time." But first, the ebb time pilgrimage toward revelation, hejira to his final metamorphosis; Labbayk! Labbayk! He fell upon his face before Allah the raceless in whose blazing Oneness all were one. He rose renewed renamed, became much more than there was time for him to be.

The Great Patricia Hill Collins on violence:
First, what counts as violence? Broadly defined, violence consists of Practices where death or the threat of death is prominent. Violence stems from human actions, words, and institutions, both intended and unintended, that cause harm to human life and all that sustains it. Violence is a social problem that results from human actions or inactions. In this book, I offer an expansive view of violence as permeating the rules and regulations of society that foster both premature and excess deaths. This invisible, systemic violence offers a backdrop for the visible acts of violence that stem from human action. When violence results in the premature death of an individual who would otherwise have lived, violence as a cause of death is easier to see and analyze. In contrast, excess deaths are more hidden, and often designed to remain so, because they point to institutional culpability in fostering violence. Excess deaths are social patterns, trends that affect some groups over others - for example, the shorter life expectancy of poor people who die from preventable diseases. What counts as violence often pivots on whether it is visible and easily recognizable as such to most people, or whether it remains invisible to people as they go about their daily lives. It's far easier to see gun violence that results in the death of a child as a premature death. Food insecurity contributes to malnutrition and excess deaths. But is withholding food from a hungry child an act of violence? Just because we are spared from witnessing a baby's premature death from hunger does not make that one death any less painful or violent. Death from hunger is preventable - all you need to do is feed the baby. There are many such instances where the evidence of violence lies in the patterns of excess deaths that it engenders. The interplay of visible and invisibles of excess woven throughout this book and offers a partial answer to this question of what counts as violence. Sometimes the answer is quite simple - violence that targets clite groups gets defined as violence. In addition, violence that harms elite groups is more likely to be defined as violence especially when it originates from subordinate groups. In contrast, when elite groups enact violence on their subordinates, it is far less often defined as violence, even when it occurs in plain sight. This is how power relations shape definitions of what counts as violence. In essence, the very definition of violence rests on who gets to decide what counts.
