“Connubial
Because with alarming accuracy
she’d been identifying patterns
I was unaware of—this tic, that

the language of intimacy
in order to conceal how I felt—
I knew I was in danger
of being terribly understood.”

“Correction of past wrongdoings, like ending slavery and dismantling legal segregation, confirmed the rightness of our ideals. Nothing fundamental about those ideals needed to change. We simply had to be better people. I want no part of that story. It blinds us to how the value gap has been so fundamental to who we are as a nation. Over and over again, we have confronted the overriding belief, held by our government and exhibited in our daily lives, in white supremacy. The story blinds most white Americans to the harsh reality of this country.”
