Disorientation Quotes

“Whiteness centers itself in the mirror that we all look into.”
― Ian Williams, Disorientation: Being Black in the World

“We may all have noses, but your nose is not like mine. When the white nose is held up as the standard nose, as the default nose, as the Platonic golden nose, then any variation becomes deviation, which is a hop from deviant, a skip from devious, and a jump to demonic, until simple variety becomes a stairway to hell.”
― Ian Williams, Disorientation: Being Black in the World
