"He didn’t care that I was a Malcolm X scholar."

"... I was held on a rooftop in Haiti and raped repeatedly by one of the very men who I had spent the bulk of my life advocating for."

"Black men have every right to the anger they feel in response to their position in the global hierarchy, but their anger is misdirected."

"I went to Haiti after the earthquake to empower Haitians to self-sufficiency. I went to remind them of the many great contributions that Afro-descendants have made to this world, and of their amazing resilience and strength as a people. Not once did I envision myself becoming a receptacle for a Black man’s rage at the white world, but that is what I became. While I take issue with my brother’s behavior, I’m grateful for the experience."

Sorry, crazy bitch.
