"The Whiteness doesn't want us to be American. But since it can't remove all of us, it will always find ways to dominate the rest of us and make our lives uncomfortable."

"Like many great works of theater, I believe America is simultaneously a riotous comedy and a heartbreaking tragedy. Our hamartia, our fatal flaw, is racism. It haunts us every day."

"But I already knew that, in America, if you aren't writing your story, your story will always be written for you. If you aren't telling your story, your story will always be told to you."
