Listen: I know
that the discussions of Race that have exploded since Barrack Obama's
election(s) have made some Whites feel 'uncomfortable'. This is simply a
reckoning, a, frankly, long overdue one, that has thrust You into a ‘front seat’
with the rest of the non-whites, after a blissfully-oblivious few centuries of
sometimes 'designed blindness' to the sometimes desperate 'contest', that has been 'headlined' by some everyday, lifelong 'miseries' birthed by Racism and it's 'child' Colorism. Please recognize that a significant portion of the
country has had no relief and/or escape from these scourges.
Those of us, White and of Color, who have been ‘facing’ this ‘cloud’,
knew that on 11/4/2008 especially, but not only because of it, the time for this would inevitably come.
If you will,
allow me to humbly-offer a Prescription . . .
