I'm Brazilian, we have a very serious national problem with race quite similar to that of America's, and I fell deeply in love with the rhetoric of Malcom X, Toni Morrison, and James Baldwin, among others, and have been studying attentively these past few years the subject which comprises, I think you'll agree, the most pressing issue of both our societies. Shouldn't it be about sharing? About (informed) dialogue, as open as it can be, about sharing common knowledge, and maybe finding common solutions? I quite literally wasted half an afternoon for nothing.

Of course she still experiences racism on an everyday basis. Asking the question demonstrates that you understand this. There a thousand ways for others to recognize racialized encounters, since everyone is rigged up to play along, while pretending nothing is happening. I believe this is why mass hysteria, cognitive dissonance, depression, anxiety and other disorders are running rampant in our society.

When Mr Rose stated “ that there is no way for the rest of us to understand that daily encounter,” can only be true if “ the rest of us” have no humanity. He is either grossly ignorant or disingenuous. When you are the cause of crimes against human beings, and then say that you can’t understand the victim’s plight, you just confirmed her assessment that the people who do, tolerate, support, or are indifferent, crimes against non whites globally, are bereft, and suffer from a serious collective psychosis, and are morally inferior.
