“People want to it to be done, they want that uncomfortable truth to be over with, they want the racism to be done, they want to believe everything is great and hunky-dory. And it’s not. There’s a lot of racism still alive and still active. And it just forced America to rethink it once again. And to really, really understand that racism isn’t gone. We have to actively push it out. And snuff it out.”

Richard Sherman (American football) (1988) American football player

Our essence was fire and cold and movement, movement…
Oh, if they ask you for the sign of the father in you,
Tell them it's movement, movement, movement and… repose.”
