“Maybe the human brain is an object beyond the reach of metaphor, for the simple reason that it is the only object capable of creating metaphors to describe itself. There really is nothing else like it. The human brain creates the human mind, and then the human mind tries to underhand the human brain, however long it takes and whatever the cost.”

“Togetherness across racial lines doesn’t have to mean the uplifting of whiteness and harming of Blackness.

― Austin Channing Brown, I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness

“White supremacy is a tradition that must be named and a religion that must be renounced. When this work has not been done, those who live in whiteness become oppressive, whether intentional or not.”
― Austin Channing Brown, I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness
