Get close enough to someone and his or her halo slips--not because they're bad, but because they're mortal. ↗

Racism oppresses its victims, but also binds the oppressors, who sear their consciences with more and more lies until they become prisoners of those lies. They cannot face the truth of human equality because it reveals the horror of the injustices they commit. ↗
