Trevor Noah
“Being chosen is the greatest gift you can give to another human being.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Ibram X. Kendi
“I do not use “microaggression” anymore. I detest the post-racial platform that supported its sudden popularity. I detest its component parts—“micro” and “aggression.” A persistent daily low hum of racist abuse is not minor. I use the term “abuse” because aggression is not as exacting a term. Abuse accurately describes the action and its effects on people: distress, anger, worry, depression, anxiety, pain, fatigue, and suicide.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Ibram X. Kendi
“That is what it truly means to think as an antiracist: to think there is nothing wrong with Black people, to think that racial groups are equal. There are lazy and unwise and harmful individuals of African ancestry. There are lazy and unwise and harmful individuals of European ancestry. There are industrious and wise and harmless individuals of European ancestry. There are industrious and wise and harmless individuals of African ancestry. But no racial group has ever had a monopoly on any type of human trait or gene—not now, not ever.”
Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America

Ibram X. Kendi
“Racist policy” says exactly what the problem is and where the problem is. “Institutional racism” and “structural racism” and “systemic racism” are redundant. Racism itself is institutional, structural, and systemic.”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Ibram X. Kendi
“Americans have long been trained to see the deficiencies of people rather than policy”
Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist
