“I recently spoke at a university where a student told me it was such a shame that Nigerian men were physical abusers like the father character in my novel. I told him that I had recently read a novel called American Psycho, and that it was a shame that young Americans were serial murderers.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieThis reminds me of a conversation I had in middle school with a White classmate, during the time of the O.J. Simpson trial:
Him: “Why do Black men beat their wives?”
Me: “Maybe for the same reasons that White men blow up government buildings.”
I repeat, MIDDLE SCHOOL.
