1. drowning in whiteness
2. questlove: trayvon martin and I ain't shit
3. why we never talk about black-on-black crime: an answer to white america's most pressing question
4. for our white friends desiring to be allies
5. letter to my mother after charleston
6. no, I won't stop saying 'white supremacy'
7. the first white president

thanks for commenting, richard. I post these articles as much for myself as for anyone else. to think differently, to open minds and hearts, to effect real change-- is constant, often slow, but constant work. I appreciate your openness.
