What is it you wanted me to reconcile myself to? I was born here almost 60 years ago, I’m not gonna live another 60 years. You always told me it takes time. It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time. My uncle’s time. My brother’s and my sister’s time. My nieces’ and my nephews’ time. How much time do you want? For your progress.

James Baldwin, 1989

    This is never a question that’s asked in good faith. This is always a question that was asked to stop a conversation. Your mind is colonized with individualism.

      It’s not - I’m curious what you advocate for as a solution, and I’m curious about how liberals are preventing you (or others) from doing them.
