    "White's not a real thing, right? There's no scientific basis for it. People just…become white. It's social. White is where you are. It's when you are. Armenians are white as hell 'til they ain't. When they dammed the Chattahoochee, some refused to leave. They thought they were safe. They'd paid to be white. With enough blood and money, anyone can be white. It's always been that way. But the thing about being white is, it blinds you. It's easy to see the Black man as cursed because you've separated yourself from him. But you don't know…you're enslaved just like him. Cold whiteness. You're hypothermic. You lose logic. You see the blood…and you think someone else is bleeding. Everyone is screaming at you to turn the machine off, but you can't hear them. You can't even hear yourself saying, 'We're cursed, too.'" (Atlanta, S03E01)
