At some point we all come to the conclusion.
Which is that secrets - especially if rooted in
evil never go away. Rather they lurk behind
the scenes. Festering like malevolent black
mold. Just waiting to unleash their poison.
All of us suffer from some elements of bad
influences. Which most of us do our best to
subjugate. Setting it aside to stew. And thus
enabling us to defer the inevitable reckoning
that follows exposure. Hence racism continues

the same problem? All of us - no matter our
color, class, or creed share a tainted legacy of
racism. One which skews our perspective in
ways that not only damage our credibility but
deter us from moving on. Yet it seems we may
have reached our point of no return. Having
evolved to a place where we can no longer lie
to ourselves. A time of reckoning guaranteed
to be painful. However in the end will make
us better for it. It's time to be honest. And to
confront racism and our role in perpetuating
it. And finally end its reign of terror.
