“We know how to swim in the sea of whiteness.
We don't really want to.
We don't know how to climb.
How to reach a place of connection with blackness.
We haven't figured out if we want to.”
Blurb: A kinetic essay, a venting of complicated feelings about race springing from being both black and white.
Why is it worth your time? Packbat's essay is short, free, and a thoughtful discussion of a challenging topic. Some plurals are making really experimental work, both in genre and medium, and that has value, even if by nature it's hard to fit into the "rules" of how this comm is supposed to work. It may not have a "story," by traditional means, but I want to boost it.
