"When you try to stand up and look the world in the face, like you had a right to be here, when you do that- without knowing this is the result of it- you have attacked the entire power structure of the western world”

On what would have been his 95th birthday consider relevant words by James Baldwin from The Fire Next Time:
— Eric Holder (@EricHolder) August 2, 2019
"Please try to remember that what they believe, as well as what they do and cause you to endure does not testify to your inferiority - but to their inhumanity."
James Baldwin, from Another Country
“People don’t have any mercy. They tear you limb from limb, in the name of love. Then, when you’re dead, when they’ve killed you by what they made you go through, they say you didn’t have any character. They weep big, bitter tears - not for you. For themselves, because they’ve lost their toy.”
