"And early on I learned that no one gives you anything for free. If you really care about something, if you really want something, you have to fight for it."-Elizabeth Warren, Persist

"Despite the overwhelming evidence of the impact of racism, today the fundamental idea of race neutrality continues to claim an elevated status in law. The consequence, Professor Ibram Kendi observes, is that these legal battles "ended up principally outlawing 'intention to discriminate'" so that "[i]ntent--not outcome--became the preferred proof of discrimination." Kendi argues that the focus on state of mind (intent to discriminate) rather than the effect of specific actions (discriminatory impact) undermines the push for equality."-Elizabeth Warren, Persist
