Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Celebrating Colors (A Sonnet) Come my friend, it's time to color the world, It's been vague and stale for eternity. You and I, we all have the colors in us, Why not use them to paint over all conformity. Let's color with our words, thoughts and action, So that not a single inch is left unrenovated. Let's paint with justice, equality and sanity, And make all offices of bigotry eliminated. There is no lack of colors in the world, Nor there is lack of determined conscience. Once you recognize the colors in your heart, The universe will rejoice in our united radiance. Colors are plenty for us to celebrate together, Hence we take a stand forging a humane future.”

“We were just a hair's breadth from electing America's first female president to succeed America's first black president. We weren't done, but we were doing it. And then, true to form-like the Balrog's whip catching Gandalf by his little gray bootie, like the husband in a Lifetime movie hissing, 'If I can't have you, no one can'-white American voters shoved an incompetent, racist con man into the White House.”

“I'm constantly having to give people geography and history lessons on how my grandmother's hometown is 65 percent Afro-Puerto Rican, on how the majority of slaves were dropped off in the Caribbean and Latin America, on how just because our Black comes with bomba and mofongo doesn't mean it isn't valid. And it seems I'm always defending the parts of me that I've inherited from my mother: the roots that come from this country, the facts that Aunt Sarah tells me about our people in the Raleigh area, the little sayings she slips into her emails that I know come from her mother, and her mother's mother, and her mother's mother's mother, to the first African mother who touched foot on this here land. The same wisdom I whisper to Babygirl every now and then, a reminder of where, and who, we are from. This stuff is complicated. But it's like I'm some long-division problem folks keep wanting to parcel into pieces, and they don't hear me when I say: I don't reduce, homies. The whole of me is Black. The whole of me is whole.”
