    I've taken my time over the last week to slowly and methodically think this through and here's what I got for you...talk, listen, empathize. The paradox of emotion is that it can either ignite grease focus and be a catalyst for change or it can completely shut us down or throw us wildly off course.

    Race seems to encompass everything now, but perhaps it always has... The "race" to make everything "racial" though has both fortunate and unfortunate consequences. Does reporting on the race of criminals help us solve a problem or does it create a bigger one? Is being attracted to people of different races "fetishizing", "dehumanizing" and all about power dynamics OR does that have nothing to do with it and you just know who you like to fuck or get fucked by?
