"Because respectability is a rage management project, those invested in Black respectability are often deeply uncomfortable with Black rage. Respectability tells us that staying alive matters more than protecting one's dignity. Black rage says that living without dignity is no life at all."

"White rage is deeply connected to a fear of losing privilege and status in a browning American empire. When your entire worldview is predicated on being on top, sinking from the top, even a little bit, can feel like an annihilation...To be Black is to grow up in a world where white feelings can become dangerous weapons. If you're Black, white fear is frequently lethal."
