Toni Morrison: "That's the wrong question, Charlie"

"If you can only be tall because somebody's on their knees, then you have a serious problem"

@RokhayaDiallo «It’s something distorted about the psyche… I always knew that I had the moral high ground»… same here 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️

“It feels crazy, it is crazy” ~ Toni Morrison

Every interview clip of her I've ever seen, I fall more deeply in love with her

Great answer about Racism from an intelligent black woman !

I and Black folk in general were always taught that something is wrong with them morally as Ms. Morrison has said…an affliction 🥀🫂

She tells it like is while having everlasting patience with the insufferable Charlie Rose

Some heat!

They force it on to one another is the crime within their circle

‘It’s History Class…Again:😫🙄’ Chapter 3: from the Book of Depressions, circa 1976-82….I think I had to look up the word ‘mendacity’ after I heard you say it, J.M. …oh, wait, no, that was Mark Twain, circa 1977… from reading Huckleberry Finn *Charlie’s forgiven, right JM?

Powerful

Whites gotta🛑being fragile &😱of truth of ancestors violent & depraved pasts, so as to address how they've MAINTAINED some of that systemic violence by being🤐which🟰COMPLICITY. If 6yo Black kids had to handle hate from racists, then 6yo white kids can handle learning about it!

“Take me out of it.”

Unfortunately racists, misogynists, and xenophobes, won't let their targets alone. Focusing on them will always help them avoid themselves.
