Is it? Or do we refuse to because we just are to selfish to care that much about something, one unknown and just a “hypothetical in my life”.
So many refuse to believe until it happens to them. Sam, the author…seems like a very evolved individule.
She feels the fear of others, sees the ridicule causing it and is willing to be INvolved…to me, she’s Evolved far above most americans…the norm would be to look the other way fast and hope and pray no one notices her…
Of course you understand the burdens of others, in this case, in the case of being black, in the case of being muslim in america, in the case of being anything but white…
OF COURSE YOU UNDERSTAND ALL OF IT…
….but like most Americans…you’d rather no one knew….
Sad….your comments are very sad…we all know…we don’t need to live it, we can see what is doing…please don’t demean their fight any further…of course we see it, of course we fucking know….
and until we all are looking at the world without the “rose colored” glasses….
IT’S GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING….
PLEASE…take them off, look around you and then do something to change it.
