"I think you must love yourself if you’re going to make any progress on embracing people different from you."

100% true. My New Year's resolution is to write more on this topic. It's something that is almost entirely absent from racial discourse today and it's absolutely obvious that many black people feel marginalised and oppressed simply because they haven't understood this simple fact.

External affirmation and validation are all well and good. But they're utterly meaningless if they aren't reflected in a genuine internal sense of one's own worth.
