“For Black people, reclaiming the full spectrum of feeling is resistance. It says: I am not just resilience…I am grief, rage, tenderness, and joy. For white people, emotional honesty is unlearning. It says: I will not prioritize my comfort over someone else’s truth.”

“White supremacy has stolen from white people, too. It has hollowed out their capacity for deep, transformative empathy, leaving in its place a shallow performance of concern, a reflex to center the self, a constant seeking of innocence rather than accountability. It has trained generations to confuse emotional detachment for maturity, to avoid reckoning with grief, guilt, or rage, to cling to comfort even when that comfort comes at the expense of truth. White people have been taught to prioritize reaction over reflection to move quickly toward defense, denial, or dismissal, rather than pause and examine the deeper emotional truths beneath.”

“the weariness these are the emotional echoes of historical pain. White people inherit silence—the refusal to acknowledge harm or advantage, the belief that being nice means being good. They inherit brittleness, the inability to hold discomfort, and they drive to restore ease at any cost.”
