Have We Met?
by
Joelle and I were on opposite sides of a scale, steadying one another. Rather than add new people to replace her, which would be impossible, I must figure out how to divide myself and find that equilibrium within.
“It should be enough that this is hurting us. It is insulting that I have to point out the ways in which these issues also hurt white Americans in the hopes that I might get more people to care.”

“It is essential to resist the depiction of history as the work of heroic individuals in order for people today to recognize their potential agency as a part of an ever-expanding community of struggle.”
― Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement

“If you are constantly assumed to be great just for being white and male, why would you struggle to make a real contribution? Why take a risk or make a determined effort that might fail when you can be rewarded for keeping your head down? Societal incentives are toward mediocrity.”
― So You Want to Talk About Race

“Perhaps one of the most brutal of white male privileges is the opportunity to live long enough to regret the carnage you have brought upon others.”
― Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America
― Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America
“We must start asking what we want white manhood to be, and what we will no longer accept. We must stop rewarding violence and oppression. We must stop confusing bullies with leaders. We must stop telling women and people of color that the only path to success lies in emulating white male dominance.”
