Gramma's Hands

"More than almost anything else, each of us yearns to belong. Within each human body is this deep, raw, aching desire.
Here is what makes white-body supremacy so pervasive
and so intractable: Beneath all the exclusion and constriction and trauma, white-body supremacy offers the white body a sense of belonging...We will not end white-body supremacy -- or any form of human evil -- by trying to tear it to pieces. Instead, we can offer people better ways to belong
and better things to belong to."
