Quote of the Day

(George Floyd's death) was preceded by too many Black deaths to name, too many Black deaths to absorb, too many Black deaths to remember, too many Black deaths to account for, too many Black deaths to obsess over.  Forcing Black folk to obsess over death saps our power and distracts us from the full pursuit of life.  In the wake of such an obsession, Black life slowly and imperceptibly ebbs away, slipping through the cracks while hardly anyone beyond our culture pays attention.
