If anything can bring us together, it's the arts. It is through diverse creative mediums that we can share our stories and realize that we have more in common with each other than we have been led to believe by racial stereotypes. The only thing that separates us is our illusion of race. Rip off our skins and underneath we are all the same. We live, love, suffer and die together.
Racism is alive and well in America.
Every single white person knows a racist or is a racist. I would like to believe that most people are not racists, and that the only racist they know is some relative who is too old to learn the error of their ways. But I know better than that. I know plenty of racists- racists who don't even know they're racists. That's the sad part.
