Top 10 Morgan Jerkins Quotes (2024 Update)

Morgan Jerkins Quote: “There is no one way to be black. Blackness is not a monolith and you are not someone who is lost in the abiss of uniformity. Blackness is a kelidoscope where, if you look closely, you will see many colorful patterns within the many reflections in the mirror. There is no one way to be black.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “White people think that it is a compliment when they do not ‘see’ you as a black person.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “When there is no equality there can not be equivalency.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “I was never taught that the world would nurture me, so I perfected the ways of hiding.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “In my experience, white people are the only ones who purport to advance equality through the erasure or rejection of marginalized people’s identities, which signals to me that they have fooled themselves into believing that they are “unraced.” This belief is false, because it is based on the idea that whiteness is the human standard and that furthermore, by virtue of them being white, they are the arbiters of humanity.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “I was not in a country where my ancestors had been enslaved. I was not stared at when I walked through different neighborhoods either in the day or the evening, no waitress gave me poor service, no one made any snide remarks about my body, and I never heard a racial slur. In short, I was free.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “We cannot come together if we do not recognize our differences first. These differences are best articulated when women of color occupy the center of the discourse while white women remain silent, actively listen, and do not try to reinforce supremacy by inserting themselves in the middle of the discussion.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “This idea undermining GIRLHOOD, that saying I feel for you to a woman unlike yourself means you somehow share in her experience, is one of the pitfalls that plagues mainstream feminism. It signals to women of colour that their stories are only worth telling if a white person can understand them, and therefore that a white person’s emotions and responses are of greater importance than the stories themselves.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “I would subject myself a black man’s harassment a thousand times over rather than watch his face hit the pavement with a police officer’s weight on his back. That’s not justice. That is a betrayal.”
Morgan Jerkins Quote: “Plenty more. A whole lotta Black women been getting sick, losing babies, and everything – and they blame it all on those Melancons. I don’t believe in correlation actually implying causation. But it does make you wonder who they are giving the caul to if not the women of this neighborhood.”
