The lesson Toni Morrison left us… Toni Morrison warned against the easy moves: giving in to the comic book version of ourselves, leaning on “medieval rhetoric” that turns fear into certainty, and using language that flattens people into heroes or villains. It’s tempting because it makes the world simple and lets us stop thinking. We slip into it more often than we realize. Outrage feels like clarity. Words feel like action. Reducing people feels normal. Being human means noticing those shortcuts, refusing them, and recognizing the humanity we share with everyone—even the people we disagree with. #Politics #Humanity #ToniMorrison #Inspiration
