McGhee takes the concept of a “zero-sum game“--someone always *has* to lose, --and skillfully uses it to analyze a form of white racism that manifests as resistance toward racialized people benefiting, even when white people are also set back: racism has a cost for all of us. Examples include barring access to public pools, union repression, lack of equal access to education and home ownership, and more.

When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and Jem‘s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury.

"you never really understand a person until you've climbed into their shoes and walked around"
-Harper lee

When Atticus Finch says this to his children it really hit home. A very powerful quote.
