“The most marvelous, unbelievable thing about Black people in America is that they exist. Every imaginable monstrosity that evil can conjure has been inflicted on this population, yet they have not been extinguished.”
― Michael Harriot, Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019

“History can never be objective or unbiased because, no matter how hard the storytellers may try, the perception of reality prejudices all stories. The academic field of history is dominated by white men handicapped by the inability to see whiteness’s impact on America’s biography. The best historians try to approximate the truth by unbending the collection of funhouse mirrors through which the past has been viewed, but it isn’t simply a counterfeit version of history, it is a fable that erases the reflection of an entire people to ensure that the mythology of the heroes lives happily ever after.”
― Michael Harriot, Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America

“That "anti-white" sentiment people keep talking about is just the erosion of what I call the "privilege of individuality." White people aren't accustomed to being lumped together and being defined by the actions of others. Welcome to the club.
