From a student paper: Whenever I hear the phrase, “Why can’t you guys just ‘get over it?” I hear Baldwin’s thoughts ringing in my head: “Whoever debases others is debasing himself.” Do not debase an entire history of ignorance, loathing, and racism to alleviate yourselves and make the pain go away in your own hearts. Do not make a mockery out of years of pain and years of nooses and beatings and hangings. Instead, admit what we all know (albeit from the ignorant pigs whose ignorance is so deep that they cannot see through their clouded eyes of obliviousness and hatred). Admit guilt and let us all come together to figure out how we can all prevent such ignorance in the future.
