You cannot lynch me and keep me in ghettos without becoming something monstrous yourselves. And, furthermore, you give me a terrifying advantage. You never had to look at me. I had to look at you. I know more about you than you know about me. Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

James Balwin’s words from unfinished book in Raoul Peck’s I Am Not Your Negro (2016)  (via vcalvache)
