8. yes he has. thank you so much for posting that, SemperEadem!

a whole other part of the genocide.
not even to mention the health devastation caused by suppressed rage.



really looking at this, feeling what it says even from outside of having to LIVE it, is mind-blowing:

... And while these may appear to most whites as momentary discomforts with no larger import, imagine those kinds of experiences happening not once or twice, but regularly over a year, two years, a life. Imagine the uncertainty, the trepidation, the second-guessing of every glance, comment, or stare, made necessary by a lifetime lived in self-defense mode, the need for keen observation and interpretation of the most mundane interracial encounters made as critical to your safety and survival as nutrition, as vital as love.

See, that’s what race means, even now, and that is what (among so many other things) gives the lie to all claims of post-raciality made by those who refuse to feel what people of color are all too willing to tell them, if only they could hear.

all enraging and heartbreaking ....

but then, to consider LIVING it .... !!!


thank you, again, more, SemperEadem
