“I am not responsible for “others'” ignorance or denial about race or white privilege. I no longer carry the burden of navigating other people’s feelings. I will not be quiet for any one else’s comfort. That’s it. No more explanation and no negotiation, and yes, I am ready to fight. Black style, our cool, is precious, worthy of protecting, defending, and being accountable to. Enough taking and enough giving away.”
– Michaela Angela Davis, “Resistance” from “Black Cool: One Thousand Streams of Blackness”
