“Why was it I sometimes felt as weary of America as if I too had landed in what was now South Carolina in 1526 or in Jamestown in 1619? Was it the tug of all the lost mothers and orphaned children? Or was it that each generation felt anew the yoke of a damaged life and the distress of being a native stranger, an eternal alien?”

“Woke is definitely a black experience 鈥� woke is if someone put a burlap sack on your head, knocked you out, and put you in a new location and then you come to and understand where you are ain鈥檛 home and the people around you ain鈥檛 your neighbors. They鈥檙e not acting in a neighborly fashion, they鈥檙e the ones who conked you on your head. You got kidnapped here and then you got punked out of your own language, everything. That鈥檚 woke 鈥� understanding what your ancestors went through. Just being in touch with the struggle that our people have gone through here and understanding we鈥檝e been fighting since the very day we touched down here. There was no year where the fight wasn鈥檛 going down.”
― Georgia Anne Muldrow

“Many black intellectuals spoke about the experience of racism mainly, and sometimes exclusively, from a black male perspective, highlighting the various ways their humanity had been degraded and denied. While this discussion was something I cared about deeply, it was rarely balanced with one about all the unique ways in which black women have suffered. Even the scholars who spoke about race without focusing so much on the particular experience of black men still failed to fully capture and dissect the compounded challenges black women faced as they dealt with racism and sexism. The result of discussions of race being unfairly tilted toward the male point of view is that the experiences of black women have taken a backseat to those of black men, although they've suffered in ways that black men haven't. Racism and sexism were stacked against them. And too often they've borne the brunt of the very masculinity that has been historically debased in black men when black men asserted their power over the only people they could - black women...The hard truth is that black men have contributed to these struggles both subtly and overtly...we contribute to the degradation of black women by glorifying the kind of common rap that reduces them to bitches, hoes, and body parts.”
