Late Night Talk for Grownups


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.
