"Notre défi est de reconnaître qu'il n'y a pas de « ils »."

Ta Nehisi Coates

Simplified Meaning:

The quote is about the idea that we often divide people into two groups: "us" and "them." This thinking can create barriers and misunderstandings between groups. For example, at school, students might split into different cliques like athletes, artists, or geeks. When people see others as part of a different group, they might not try to understand or be friends with them. The quote encourages us to see that everyone is part of the same group, and there is no reason to separate people based on differences. In real life, this means being open to meeting new people and appreciating what everyone can share and teach, no matter how different they might seem. By doing this, we can create a more connected and understanding community.
