> It was a horrible time in the country for Blacks...

    Dr. Hate: The work that we do in the clinic is one
    thing. But the moment we step outside, we are greeted 
    by police, by [...] a society that is perfectly happy
    for us to die.

    FW: Even sociologists who don’t agree with my Afropessimist 
    conclusions will nonetheless point out that we today are 
    living in a state of greater captivity than we were in the 
    1860’s. It seems like 1 in every 6 Black people are somehow
    incarcerated. That is a pandemic. We’re living in more chains 
    today — through lockdowns, ankle bracelets, halfway houses,
    that kind of thing -- than we were in the early 1800’s. 
    That’s something to think about, when people tell you that 
    progress has come along.
