Memorable quotes:
“Combine that Western savior complex with a dominant cultural group with real power and you have a recipe for social disaster. Dominant groups anywhere in the world are prone to overriding the narratives of marginalized people with their own perspectives… “Until the story of the hunt is told by the lion, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” The Trouble I’ve Seen by Drew G.I. Hart
“But all our phrasing—race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy—serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.” Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
