Seeing this always brings me back to James Baldwin:
 
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
― The Fire Next Time

 @bd381aa0 Thank you. Such a powerful and true observation. If the US had found a way to listen to James Baldwin and others like him, we'd be on a much more sound path to a brighter future. But no. We have chosen otherwise.
