There has to be a measure of faith. That`s what this business is all about: trusting in something that may never show up, that you have no concrete proof of.
Nobody`s ever asked me to pay for a meal before I`ve eaten it, I`ve never been pulled over just because I was driving the wrong kind of car in the wrong kind of area at the wrong time of night.
My father is black and my mother is white. Therefore, I could answer to either, which kind of makes me a racial Lone Ranger, caught between two communities.
My encounters with racism are sort of second-hand situations where I might be standing around with a group of white friends and someone makes a comment that they wouldn`t make at my family reunion.
