“America fears anger from black people, has always feared anger from black people, considers black people angry even when something more like “despaired” or “fatigued” better suits the mood.”
― White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue . and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation
― White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue . and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation
“It feels bad to wade in the repercussions of our behavior, it feels good to apologize and disavow and consider oneself exempt moving forward. But being online, being white, being online as a white person, means never being exempt. Antiracist as a noun does not exist. There's only people doing the work, or not. The person genuinely invested in the work doesn't run from discomfort but accepts it as the price of personhood taken for granted.”
― White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue... and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation
― White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue... and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation
“Binding the disparate cultural touchstones in this book, appropriation runs on desire more than hatred, inattention more than intention.”

“[W]e've been adjudicating inequality through cultural criticism. We have taught people who don't even care about feminism how to do this—how to analyze women and analyze the way people react to women, how to endlessly read and interpret the signs.”
― Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion
― Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion
“The freedom I want is located in a world where we wouldn't need to love women, or even monitor our feelings about women as meaningful—in which we wouldn't need to parse the contours of female worth and liberation by paying meticulous personal attention to any of this at all.”

“There's a limit, I think, to the utility of reading celebrity lives like tea leaves.”

“White people wanted to be white just as much as we did. They worked just as hard at it. They failed more often. But they could pass, so no one objected.”

“I hate when I'm supposed to be having fun and Race singles me out for special chores and duties.”
