"Tactics can be thought of as a set of tools. Like a hammer, a glue gun, or a screwdriver,
they are means for building and deconstructing a given situation"
I believe the quote above is very true, tactics can be looked at as a tool, for example protesting. Protesting can make an impact whether its on a large scale or small one. Protests can be used to deconstruct a policy or whatever the protesters believe is wrong and should be payed more attention to. It can also be used a as a tool for building depending on what the protest is centered around.
“Get the black out. Bring three to ten items that you
associate with blackness to the Black Factory on this appointed day.”
Before reading the text after this quote I thought the "Black Factory" would be a an event or something that focuses on not necessarily black people and issues but something that can inspire them not just items being transformed into rubber duckies.
The experience is as far away from didactic as possible, yet one can
not help but think that in that ambiguous experience, they received the one thing Pope L. promises
the Black Factory will provide: opportunity
Im not too sure or clear on the opportunity that the Black Factory provides.
After further thought, from my perspective I see the Black Factory as a way to show Black People that our culture and anything relative to us can be expanded upon even if it goes against social norms, it doesn't have to be physical items it could be knowledge, stories, compassion and love for others.
