“You have to get over the fear of facing the worst in yourself. You should instead
fear unexamined racism. Fear the thought that right now, you could be contributing
tothe oppression of others and you don’t know it. But do not fear those who bring
thatoppression to light. Do not fear the opportunity to do better.”– Ijeoma Oluo
