Ta-Nehisi Coates Quotes
That Was The Week You Learned That The Killers Of Michael Brown Would Go Free. The Men Who Had Left His Body In The Street Like Some Awesome Declaration Of Their Inviolable Power Would Never Be Punished. It Was Not My Expectation That Anyone Would Ever Be Punished. But You Were Young And Still Believed. You Stayed Up Till 11 P.M. That Night, Waiting For The Announcement Of An Indictment, And When Instead It Was Announced That There Was None You Said, "I've Got To Go," And You Went Into Your Room, And I Heard You Crying. I Came In Five Minutes After, And I Didn't Hug You, And I Didn't Comfort You, Because I Thought It Would Be Wrong To Comfort You.
