This is late night talk for grownups in pursuit of human relations
understanding among people who are different by race and color.
I am Oscar Crawford. My friends call me, O. I hope you will, too.
If you ask
someone who is white, what is it like to be white, you get the what do you mean
look. There is no context for thinking white for people white, unless may be
you are the white guy who feels denigrated in a time of social change.
If you
ask someone who is black, what it is like to be black, you might hear, how much
time do you have available because this is going to take a while. We, who are
black have a a defined thinking context for this question.
If you ask a man
what it is like to be man, you will get very short to no sentences as a
response. If you ask a woman what it is like to be a woman, again, you might
hear, how much time do you have available because this is going to take a
while.
If you have an understanding of these statements without the necessity
of judgment or prompts to anger, I commend you to making new friends and
building new relationships. You are ready.
This comment is a prelude to a
comment I will make on the new comedy on ABC called black - ish. This is late
night talk for grownups in pursuit of human relations understanding among
people who are different by race and color.
