“When Obama was elected, I—like so many other people of color—cried like a baby. I did not cry because I thought that Obama was the second coming. I did not cry because I thought reparations would soon be mine. I cried because when the math was done, I finally had proof that more than 50% of this country did not want to kill someone like me. It was the first time I felt that I could with confidence walk into a room and think, “less than half of you hate me.” It was the closest I had felt to having a country.

“It’s likely the closest I’ll feel to that for a very long time.”

“For people of color, Trump is as ‘fascinating’ as being kicked in the stomach.”
