Nat Turner Project: PostScript

“Trump truly is something new—the first president whose entire political existence hinges on the fact of a black president.” 

“ Indeed, there is a kind of theater at work in which Trump’s presidency is pawned off as a product of the white working class as opposed to a product of an entire whiteness that includes the very authors doing the pawning. The motive is clear: escapism.”

-Ta-Nehisi Coates

“I don’t give a fuck about a safety pin.”

“...Why do I not want to be mad? Black anger to me is one of the greatest gifts. To me it benefits no one if we pretend everything is ok. My anger isn’t going to be used to educate white people, my anger is my anger, it’s part of me claiming my humanity in a world that denies it.”
