    So.....5 white folks and 45 black folks attempting to break through color barriers or whatever the heck the premise of this event was. Sounds about accurate that even its STILL up to black people to do all the work of “mending race relations” that white folks always complain about trying so hard to do but always getting yelled at and what is even the POINT of being an ally?!?!

      Is it bad that I expected the event to be nothing but Black people?

    More than five, but less than 6 years ago, I was a member of a mixed-raced, creative writing group. We met once a week to discuss writing techniques and the such. During one meeting, the topic of race and writing characters with realism. Of course, we had members (mostly white) who said that they could write characters of a different race, effectively. One non-white person verbally disagreed. Her reasoning sounds similar to what Moses said.

    “White people are oblivious. We know them. We have to know them, you know. It’s not like that for them. They don’t know anything about us, they don’t have to,” Moses opined.

    “I’m not naive. I didn’t know what to expect. I had a 9 mm in my purse in case something happened. ’Cause I’m not going out like that,” Moses said.
