Ijeoma Oluo
“Racism is any prejudice against someone because of their race when those views are reinforced by systems of power.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

Ijeoma Oluo
“Have these conversations, not just with people of other races—and I know that’s why the majority of you are reading this book. You should be having these conversations with people of your own race as well. White people—talk about race with other white people. Stop pretending that you are exempt from the day-to-day realities of race. Take some of the burden of racism off of people of color. Bring it into your life so that you can dismantle racism in the white spaces of your life that people of color can’t even reach. People of color, talk to your people about race. Feel the therapeutic effects of honest and safe conversation about race. Examine and confront your internalized racism. Make space to heal and rejuvenate.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

“This divide-and-conquer technique serves to redirect struggle against oppressive White Supremacy to competition between Asian Americans and other people of color.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

“These were people that would have been called “real black” by people I grew up with who often used such terms to point out how “not black” my education, speech, and fashion sense obviously made me.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

“Men cry, son. All the time. Never be ashamed of your feelings. Your feelings are your compass. They guide you to what’s right.”
Olivia Hawker, The Ragged Edge of Night
