We are weighed down by the illusion of danger and constantly fear for our safety. We limit our choices of where we live and work, who our friends are, where our children go to school, where we worship, what media and news we listen to, and what activities we do. We live in constant fear that people of color will do to us what we have done to them over the centuries. As a result, we create such segregated lives that we wall ourselves off from over 85% of the world’s population.
