Question 1. "But you cannot arrange your life around them and the small chance of the Dreamers coming into consciousness. Our moment is too brief. Our bodies are too precious. And you are here now, and you must live and there is so much out there to live for, not just in someone else's country, but in your own home."
Coates. Page 147

Question 2. "But race is the child of racism , not the father " Coates page 7

Question 3. So that America might justify itself, the story of a black body's destruction must begin with his or her error, real or imagined" Coates, p. 96

Question 4. To be Black in Baltimore of my youth was to be naked before the elements of the world, before all the guns, fists, knives, crack, rape, and disease. The nakedness is not an error, nor pathology. The nakedness is the correct and intended result of policy". Coates Page 17.

Question 5. "Think of all the embraces, all the private jokes, customs, greetings, names, dreams, all the shared knowledge and capacity of a black family injected into that vessel of flesh and bone. And think of how that vessel was taken, shattered on the concrete, and all its holy contents, all that had gone into him, sent flowing back to the earth. " Coates Page 81 and 82
