james baldwin we can disagree and still love each other

The quote "We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist" is widely attributed to James Baldwin, but it is actually written by essayist and novelist Robert Jones Jr., who used the Twitter handle @sonofbaldwin. Robert Jones Jr. first posted this statement on August 18, 2015. The quote emphasizes the idea that love and disagreement can coexist, except when the disagreement involves denying someone's humanity and basic rights, which crosses a fundamental boundary.
