Quote of the Day

But when it comes to black life in America, there's only one conclusion I can reach about some white people: You don't care to put yourself in our shoes.  The consequences of this lack of imagination for black Americans are deadly....If you don't have much interest in how we live and love, you'll never understand what we're fighting to preserve....White people have never needed to exercise that kind of curiosity.  You've never had to.  You can live your whole lives without really considering how we live ours.  We, on the other hand, know you very well.  We've had to.  We had no choice.

-- Kasi Lemmons
