Just wow..
“God didn’t prevent the slave ships from sailing, or the crosses from burning, or the bullets from piercing our bodies. ‘God is white,’ I whispered to myself again and again. As it became clearer to me that their god was the divine sponsor of the maafa, it became clear to me that white Jesus, as he’d been described in every church I’d attended, was also a white friend I couldn’t keep.”

"you are no one's token" The dedication in the opening left me in tears because it's taken me 30 years to fight to be nobody's token black girl. Every person in my life who didn't see their own racism has been distanced for me. I pick me 😭🥰
