“Racist” is not—as Richard Spencer argues—a pejorative. It is not the worst word in the English language; it is not the equivalent of a slur. It is descriptive, and the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it. The attempt to turn this usefully descriptive term into an almost unusable slur is, of course, designed to do the opposite: to freeze us into inaction.”
― Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

“Besides which, no matter what shape protests against racism take, they are always met with the accusation that while the principle might be right, the execution is wrong.”

“As they say, history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“When you know yourself and your strengths, there is always something you can do to raise the standard for everyone.”
