Because I study violence of the past—as well as its ubiquity in the present—I believe in maximizing the life my ancestors struggled to give me. It was a totally unfair struggle, OVERFLOWING WITH INJUSTICE. All the more reason for me to step up!

And doing so requires that I refuse to carry burdens that are not mine. That’s why it's so important that I know I have NOTHING TO PROVE to people who don't live up to the standards they created. (Why clarity about white mediocrity & know-your-place aggression has been crucial)
