... one of the greatest white comforts is not having to know anything about Black life. There is little pressure to know its epic sweep and narrative grandeur, its political struggle and social triumph, its moral heroism and existential courage, its intellectual complexity and its transcendent cultural trajectory, all met by relentless resistance and outright hostility from a myriad of white forces.
-- Michael Eric Dyson, Long Time Coming, p. 188
