\nDo not speak to me of martyrdom,of men who die to be rememberedon some parish day.I don't believe in dyingthough,I too shall die.And violets like castanetswill echo me.  \nSoNIA SANCHEZ  \nSon,  \nLast Sunday the host of a popular news show asked mewhat it meant to lose my body.The host was broadcastingfrom Washington,D.C.,and I was seated in a remote stu-dio on the far west side of Manhattan.A satellite closedthe miles between us,but no machinery could close thegap between her world and the world for which I hadbeen summoned to speak.When the host asked me aboutmy body,her face faded from the screen,and was replacedby a scroll of words,written by me earlier that week.  \nThe host read these words for the audience,and whenshe finished she turned to the subject of my body,al-though she did not mention it specifically.But by now Iam accustomed to intelligent people asking about thecondition of my body without realizing the nature of theirrequest.Specifically,the host wished to know why I felt  \n6 TA-NEHISI COATES  \nthat white America's progress,or rather the progress ofthose Americans who believe that they are white,was builton looting and violence.Hearing this,I felt an old andindistinct sadness well up in me.The answer to this ques-tion is the record of the believers themselves.The answeris American history.  \nThere is nothing extreme in this statement.Americansdeify democracy in a way that allows for a dim awarenessthat they have,from time to time,stood in defiance oftheir God.But democracy is a forgiving God and Amer-ica's heresies--torture,theft,enslavement—are so commonamong individuals and nations that none can declare them-selves immune.In fact,Americans,in a real sense,havenever betrayed their God.When Abraham Lincoln de-clared,in 1863,that the battle of Gettysburg must ensure\"that government of the people,by the people,for thepeople,shall not perish from the earth,\"he was not merelybeing aspirational;at the onset ofthe Civil War,the UnitedStates ofAmerica had one of the highest rates of sufragein the world.The question is not
