As a black person, I say shove it Newt! Nobody can entirely understand the experience of anyone else, regardless of race, class, gender, nationality, religion, etc., but it’s certainly possible for anyone to somewhat understand the experience of anyone else, again regardless of race, class, gender, nationality, religion, etc. The black/white divide is not something that’s singularly difficult to cross, for the most part we speak the same language, share much of the same history and culture. Gimme a break!
