"I don't give a damn if there's any hope for them or not. But I know that I am not about to be bugged by any more white jokers who still can't figure out whether I'm human or not. If they don't know, baby, sad on them, and I hope they drop dead slowly, in great pain."
James Baldwin was an American writer and public intellectual known for essays, novels, and social criticism on race and identity. His major works include Go Tell It on the Mountain and The Fire Next Time.
