Here's the new thread for posting quotes, with the usual rules:
- Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be voted up/down separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
- Do not quote yourself
- Do not quote comments/posts on LW/OB
- No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
– James Baldwin
The obscure language was likely due to the political context of the original; try substituting 'identified' for 'faced'.
Or acknowledged, or accepted. I don't see facing an issue as obscure language, but this is a good aphorism. Upvoted.
