OTD in 1975 Hannah Arendt died.

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact & fiction and the distinction between true & false no longer exist".

As a parent of Black children I often find myself unconsciously forcing them to be smaller than they are when in public, to not be their full selves. Cos I know that if they play up, White society won't think "They're just kids being kids." Instead they'll think, "They're Black people being Black."

Every time I catch myself doing it I'm heartbroken.
