Bruh. You know what's most impressive about this piece? That you were able to write paragraphs about it. It's so complex to me that I either don't talk about it, or once I start, I can't stop and then I realize it's gone everywhere and nowhere at the same time. At that's when the only sensible guidance is that each individual should focus on the quality they bring to their immediate personal connections.
Maybe the fact that, in contrast to the 60s/70s, we can't even *pretend* to broad-brush the African American culture, experience, challenges, and direction is progress.
