... it is only natural that after waking up, white brothers and sisters want to share that awakening. But the comfort of being awakened on someone else's dime, on someone else's back, or in the case of George Floyd, on someone else's neck, must be brought up short with the realization that no matter how sincere such awakening is, it has arrived far into the history of Black people and our culture and struggle in this nation.
-- Michael Eric Dyson, Long Time Coming, p. 196-197
