Speak for yourself. I want to hear his pain and frustration. I want to identify with his despair in the face of a type of idiocy I will never personally experience as a straight white cis male. I want to hear the shrill, flawed voice of melancholy. He's not MLK, Jr. He's a guy telling a personal story. The world needs a plurality of voices to advance; the despondent and downtrodden remind us where we are, and the transcendent and hopeful show us a way out.
