Am I the only person who reads bios and places them in the horrible house of race? I mean to say that I notice who is and who is not allowed to enter professions and what education they have attained.
Dear Ms. Staples:
My perception of the world is quite different from others. During my undergraduate education, I was the only black student in most of my Art History classes. Why? At the time, majority of the black students on campus assumed that most Art History Professors were racists and gatekeepers, and they were not.
Ms. Staples, I tend to focus on life essentials, and less on race and racism in America. Personally, racism is never a deterrence in attaining my goals. My focus is always on the person, and not the behavior.
Cheers.
