Quotes
My grandmother always referred to white people as the "wasicu sica" with emphasis on sica, our word for terrible or bad. ... Eventually I realized that it wasn't the white skin that I hated, but it was their culture of deceit, greed, racism and violence.
Barbara Cameron, "Gee, You Don't Seem Like An Indian," in This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (1981), p. 41
