“Medical experts report that being socially rejected, experiencing stereotypes, and suffering discrimination trigger the same neural circuits that process physical injury and translate it into the experience we call pain.13”
Mary-Frances Winters, Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit

“This is what I call sublime (defined as “elevated and exalted”) ignorance. When many Black people hear stories like this, we do not know whether to scream, cry, or laugh. How could you not know that racism is alive and well in America and throughout the world? The truth is that white people are not required to know. As the dominant group, they can go through life with the privilege of never thinking about their race. Many white people still claim not to “see” race. If you do not see it, there is no reason to address it. You can be sublimely ignorant.”
Mary-Frances Winters, Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit

“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have. —James Baldwin,”
