This piece of creative nonfiction was written for a contest way back when as an undergraduate student in university. It was inspired by a required reading for a course, which the title has long been lost in the void of memory, but the story is all from various events through the years of my life. It will be uploaded vignette by vignette.

This is a letter designed for those who would like to be anti-racist but don't have the mental capacity or energy left to spare. If you know someone who is being racist and would like to tell them to stop, show them this. I cover basically everything I can to explain racism and why it needs to stop in America.
