One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This:
"As powerful and unflinching as Between the World and Me. A clear indictment of western hypocrisy and the world’s general willingness to turn away from blatant genocide (namely Palestine) while we dehumanize and devalue entire cultures.

“You would be wise not to underestimate the power of neutrals. Sometimes they can be misunderstood as boring, but where would fashion be without the little black dress or the crisp white shirt? The truth is, we wouldn’t be able to create our richest, darkest colors without black and there would be no pastel goodness without white. Not to mention that when you study neutrals themselves along the spectrum from warm to cool tones, there are literally hundreds of tints and shades to consider. Neutrals are beloved because they go with everything. They mix well with each other, but more importantly, they mix beautifully with every other color.”
