“I just feel left out of the whole possibility of love and romance. I hate that that is related to my race, and I hate that I believe it. I hate that I have felt it for so long, and I hate that white women have it so easy.

We are asked to compare ourselves to them.”

Morgan Parker (writer) American poet
