“You can pick up the topic of race for an evening discussion and then the rest of your week you don’t need to think about it. Race is an abstraction for you—something ‘out there’. For me—every time I look in the mirror I think of race. We have to think about it all the time, but when we get into a church with white brothers and sisters and want to talk about it as much as we need to, you all quickly get tired of it.”
