Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin - find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.

Confession: There are two things that really piss me off about how we talk about AA in this country.

First, whenever individual people come out to speak against it, they’re either remarkably mediocre (Abigail Fisher) or already going to a super elite school (Austin Jia). In either case, it amounts to profound entitlement. If you got a 1180 out of 2400 on your SAT, I don’t want to hear about how you were entitled to go to a school whose holistic admission was at one point more selective than the Ivy League. And if you go to the 8th ranked university in the nation, I couldn’t give a single, solitary fuck about how you didn’t get into Harvard.

Secondly, the idea that AA should be class-based instead of race-based. First off, that would disproportionately benefit white people because even if equally impoverished, black people are more likely to be in worse-off schools. Secondly, and more importantly, IT ALREADY EXISTS. Obviously AA isn’t only race based when WHITE women benefit the most from it. Not to talk of the generational AA that is legacy admissions. Y'all just wanna scapegoat black and brown people so badly.

Rant over.

In Parliament Sir William Fox had told the gruesome story of a slave, who had been unable to work because of illness, being plunged into a cauldron of sugar cane being boiled up with water, and being held there for 45 minutes by the barbaric sugar trader. In the course of this ghastly ordeal the slave suffered terrible injuries from which he took six months to recover.
