I've hightlighted several perfect phrases in this piece, but this is the one that stunned me. "How does it feel to be a problem?" is the question white people are facing. I am just going to sit with that for a while, but it strikes me as one of the most significant historical developments—or reversals—since, I dunno, 1492. Thanks for writing it out.
