Ruha Benjamin
“The selective outrage follows longstanding patterns of neglect and normalizes anti-Blackness as the weather, as
Christina Sharpe notes, whereas non-Black suffering is treated as a disaster.”
Ruha Benjamin, Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code

Ibram X. Kendi
“To truly be antiracist is to be feminist. To truly be feminist is to be antiracist.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist
