The Stay Chapter 17 sneak peek 
          	
          	Keegan scoffed when I said the word kidnapped. “What?” I asked, turning towards Keegan. “We didn’t kidnap you, we brought you home. I know it may be hard to understand now, but I promise you’ll come to love it here. When I first got here I tried to stab him with a knife” I began choking on my wine. “What…. Do you… mean?” I said in between coughs. Before anyone could answer there was a knock on the door. Sebastian yelled out ‘come in!’ Zion came in with another cart. This cart had three covered plates on top. Zion went around the table placing a plate in front of us. He then left the room without saying another word. “What do you mean?” I asked again. Keegan went to answer but was cut off by Sebastian. “Eat some food then after you can ask all the questions you want and we’ll answer truthfully” he stated.

Ten Facts
          
          Human biological variation is real. It is patterned, important, and a thing of beauty to be celebrated.
          Race neither describes nor explains human biological variation.
          Humans do not have biological races.
          Human biological races are a relatively recent idea that was reified—made real legally and scientifically—to justify racism.
          Racial classifications developed historically as a politically important means to categorize and divide individuals.
          Many individuals still believe in the myth of race as being “obviously” biological, in the blood and genes. Race is a powerful illusion. That myth provides ideological justification for systemic racial inequalities.
          Racism is an ideology that is built on a myth and widely shared, with institutional and structural manifestations.
