Quote of the Day

I'm not asking you to let go of your humanity, but, in the best way possible, to find your way back to it.  You can let go of whiteness when you see it as a moral choice, an ideology, a politic, a terribly fearful reaction to the thing it hates the most but can least afford to do without: the black people it helped to will into existence.

-- Michael Eric Dyson, Tears We Cannot Stop, p. 49
