“White people have made sure that you are not white in America until both your parents are born white.”
It could have been, with the exception of this telling statement. The author makes it quite clear, that the root of the problem is Caucasion. Worse still, this reader can find no acknowledgment, or admission by the author, of any improvement on the part of that side of the equation.
Yes, owning your own responsibility in any problem is an important step, but, if you explain it, by stating that it occurred because the deck IS stacked against you, then you have not honestly owned it.
May God help us.
