I know more about you, therefore, than you know about me. I’ve had to spend my life, after all—and all the other Negroes in the country have had to spend their lives—outwitting and watching white people. I had to know what you were doing before you did it.

And they are looking at him now, not because there’s been a change of heart, but only because they must.”
― James Baldwin, The Cross of Redemption: Uncollected Writings
