Today my wife got a real life experience of what racism and ignorance looks like. She got to understand how trying to redirect or wave off someone’s words can be harmful. She got to feel the mistakes she made and see them from a pov she never had to think about before. 1/

And then she got to have a very real conversation about what happened. Sue understands now what that means for her raising a Black child and especially a Black girl. She understands that raising that child does not exempt her from participating in racism either. It was hard.

It was hard. It was uncomfortable. It was enraging (especially for me). And I’m glad it happened. It’s one thing for someone to claim to be an ally and say I’m with you. But what does it mean when it’s in your face ready to punch the shit out of you. What will your true response be. That’s the test.
