Accept the truth
The words
Sometimes people just need to accept the truth.
And once we accept the truth, then we can start to do something about it.
But right now, I guess the white America is in denial.
The room
Three sentences, and they are the whole method. People need to accept the truth. Once we accept the truth, we can start to do something about it. Right now, I guess, the white America is in denial.
I said ‘the white America’ — the article is mine and I would keep it. It turns a country into a posture.
Denial is the obstacle before every other obstacle. You cannot fix what you will not name, and a country that will not name a thing will commission a report to tell it there is nothing to name. Everything I have built since is an answer to that sentence. An archive is what you make when the argument keeps being denied: not louder, just dated.
