“Life in the black community has a different set of rules than the perfect America our schoolbooks go on about. Black people don’t live in that schoolbook America. Where we live, we are underpaid and over-policed, but at the same time, they expect us to work harder and longer just to get half of what they already got. It’s like they wanted us to eat dog shit, yet, they never allowed us to own dogs.” — D.E. Eliot
