Now THIS is good writing about race. The world changes with one kind smile after another and by the gentle erasure of the things that divide us. Things are slightly better here in the UK, but there's still a way to go. If you haven't found his work yet, I can recommend both Estacious (Charles White) and Jeannette C Espinoza as an antidote to the sort of content where our paths crossed... I don't necessarily agree with their outlined method of travel to a better racism free world (I'm anti-identity politics) but I do agree that we should get there - and good writing like this straight from the soul is good for the journey.
