Ta-Nehisi Coates Quotes

One Saturday Morning Last May, I Joined The Presidential Motorcade As It Slipped Out Of The Southern Gate Of The White House. A Mostly White Crowd Had Assembled. As The Motorcade Drove By, People Cheered, Held Up Their Smartphones To Record The Procession, And Waved American Flags. To Be Within Feet Of The President Seemed Like The Thrill Of Their Lives. I Was Astounded. An Old Euphoria, Which I Could Not Immediately Place, Gathered Up In Me. And Then I Remembered, It Was What I Felt Through Much Of 2008, As I Watched Barack Obama's Star Shoot Across The Political Sky. I Had Never Seen So Many White People Cheer On A Black Man Who Was Neither An Athlete Nor An Entertainer. And It Seemed That They Loved Him For This, And I Thought In Those Days, Which Now Feel So Long Ago, That They Might Then Love Me, Too, And Love My Wife, And Love My Child, And Love Us All In The Manner That The God They So Fervently Cited Had Commanded.
