"Too often a story is examined through biased eyes, without a sensitivity for everyone who forged it. It's seen from the point of view of the great white savior, and rarely is the perspective of the slave a part"

- Jeffrey Wright

About this Quote

This quote by Jeffrey Wright speaks to the importance of comprehending the full story, not just the parts that are hassle-free or comfy. Too often, stories are told from the perspective of the effective, the fortunate, or the "terrific white savior", without considering the viewpoints of those who are oppressed or marginalized. This quote motivates us to be sensitive to the experiences of all those involved in a story, not simply the dominant story. It is essential to acknowledge the perspectives of those who are often forgotten or ignored, such as the servant in this quote. We need to aim to be knowledgeable about the full story, and to recognize the experiences of all those involved.
