one of my only Black teachers in grade school (private conservative Christian) told our class in 5th grade âyou know they call us black and white because black and white are opposites but actually we are brown and tan, and brown and tan are almost the same.â
I think about that a lot
I& #39;m not Black. But by listening and using empathy and a creative, divine imagination, I can almost understand what it& #39;s like to be Black in America. It starts with me thinking of everyone who isn& #39;t me as being very similar to me on a fundamental, human level.
