Coronavirus Forces White Americans to Get a Taste of the Black Experience

Unemployment, poor health care, and physical restrictions are hurdles we’ve had to overcome for centuries — I lost my job this morning. I’ve been laid off before in the past. But this was a good job with plenty of well-to-do white folks attached to it that invested a lot of money into what we were all working on. I figured that made it secure. I was…

If Fido turns feisty around your Black friends, you may have a racist dog on your hands — I’m sure my White friends and acquaintances don’t intend for their dogs to be racist.
