I have come to see racism as a naturally occurring poison. Ancient, tribal, understandable even, but ultimately ruinous to the human spirit. Racism is a virus, one that easily can become dormant, if not destroyed. Burying , suppressing it, will not kill it. The longer it lives in us, the more fear and anger it leeches in our souls. The antidote to racism? Education, unfiltered travel (Twain), and I’d add - deliberate engagement in the stories of others. Pain, joy, and pleasure are shared. When we find common threads in the life stories of others, we begin to see the invisible truth - we all bleed red and racism bleeds out of us.
