Some well-meaning folks think if we stop talking about racism, itll magically disappear, like the smell of an errant fart. But like a fart, people might try to be polite and ignore it, but everyone knows its there. Avoidance has never been a great tactic in solving any problem. For most situations in life, not addressing what's going wrong only makes matters worse. Its like someone breaks your arm, and the person who slammed the baseball bat into it is saying, 'The only reason it wont heal is because you keep complaining that it hurts.' How about you get me a cast so the bone can set straight again? America does not want to put the effort into providing this cast. This is why we must talk about race, and we must do it openly.
