Oh, Dinkinish. You are far too kind in naming that woman migrate- Molly- -- I would probably have doused her in curse words ( on the page) that would be wasted on a person who throws verbal violence to other those she thinks she has the right to treat as less than human. What I love about all your pieces is that you bring us onto the battlefield to sweat and run beside you. But as a white woman, I will never have to fight as hard as you do. I have the choice to look away, to put my hands over my ears. I don’t know what to make of this choice--the best I think I can do is to choose to see and hear you and all other black folk. Then the choice will be clear.
