Quotes by Damon Young (?)

“I think about how she just gave gave gave gave gave gave gave because life took took took took took took took. I think about how I took took took took took from her. [...] I think about how black women are socialized to be enduring and steadfast and forgiving and giving giving giving so much that there's nothing left of them but dust. I think about how this dynamic exists both within America's general white dominating culture and in black American culture.”
― Damon Young, What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker: A Memoir in Essays

“If you're just black, America adds a decade of age, a vat of sass, and a coating of Kevlar to your skin because of course niggers don't feel any pain. If you're poor and black, America acts like you emerge from the womb twenty-seven years old, with four kids, five predicate felonies, and a lit Newport already between your lips. White people get to be babies. And they still get to be babies when they're adults.”
