Angie Thomas
“I've seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black, and all hell breaks loose. I’ve tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the world knew what went down.

Now I am that person, and I’m too afraid to speak.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“Often, the performative ally professes allegiance in order to distance themselves from potential scrutiny.”
Carmen Morris
