“»Sag Bescheid, wenn ich dein Wingman sein soll.« »Was?« Verwirrt ziehe ich die Augenbrauen zusammen. Woher weiß er bitte, was das ist? »Dein Wingman«, wiederholt er nachdrücklich. »Hast du zu viel Top Gun geguckt?«, frage ich und meine damit: Hast du dir zu oft beim Sex mit Laura den Kopf gestoßen? »Letzte Woche zweimal«, antwortet er ironischerweise, und ich pruste los. Dieses Mal kommen mir die Tränen, aber ich kann ihm nicht erklären, warum das so ist. »Verstehe«, bringe ich amüsiert hervor. »Das war mein Ernst.« »Meiner auch«, sage ich und lache wieder.”

“Everybody in the world was in a position to give them orders. White women said, “Do this.” White children said, “Give me that.” White men said, “Come here.” Black men said, “Lay down.” The only people they need not take orders from were black children and each other. But they took all of that and re-created it in their own image. They ran the houses of white people, and knew it. When white men beat their men, they cleaned up the blood and went home to receive abuse from the victim. They beat their children with one hand and stole for them with the other.”
