I had not read the Jim Crow quote before, but that is absolutely *profound.* (Not that I’m surprised that Dr. King would be profound, but I have been searching for how to explain that mentality succinctly and with sufficient emotional force for years, and there it is. Before I was born, he had already fully…

How can you be a black person in this country and remain sane? I hear stories like this (I’m white) and cry, shake with anger, and get nauseated with fury. How do you live like that? How you not snap? How do you not take it out on everyone in your life that doesn’t have to put up with shit like this?
