When you're marginalized, there are no "them people," if we're all on the outskirts of the same margin.

What if racism is so perfect, it made you believe the boycotting and peaceful protests of the civil rights movement actually changed policies, but in actuality policies were gonna change anyway."Hell, let them sit whereever they want on the bus. Just don't sit with them. Let them into our schools, the teachers will still teach from a eurocentric curriculum anyway. Let them eat with us, they'll need the energy and strength to build our homes."Racism is a perfect system with an impenetrable barrier.

African-Amendment.

I didn__ mean to snore in your ear, but I wanted to inhale all of what was wrapped up in the comforter with me.

My brain has become my enemy. We fight over creation and his need for sleep.

If they knew how much you kept inside to keep from hurting them, but hurting yourself instead, maybe they__ love you more.

It was once necessary to go from somebody to nothing to become everything.

But you have to sacrifice yourself for YOURSELF, too.

I have yet to go through a struggle I didn't smile at later.

You don't get to turn someone's sanctuary into an unsafe space.

A Black church that isn't inherently revolutionary is irrelevant.

I wonder if she__ infatuated enough to let me lock her in a box with me on a cool fall day and make love like America depends on us.

Racism in impenetrable. Staying in America means always fighting. For our own sanity and safety, we must go.

America. Where property damage is a greater offense than genocide.

They made you an Amendment and convinced you it meant 'American.

Just like "All American" means "White," "All Lives" means "White.

The meetings and marches and vigils are cool, but if the enemy isn't present, you're just talking slick to a can of oil.

America's put American Black Folks in such a bad position, empty plates and glasses now get us full.
