"Men can give their lives to a cause, or they can keep their lives for themselves. It seems to me that women don't get to choose that

„White people are allowed to use as much violence as they want against us, even against each other as long as they write a good enough story about it. But colored people can't get away with that.

„don’t drink anything. it’s a long trip and there are no colored restrooms along the way“
genuinely such an insane reality
