In my previous post, I was trying to illustrate the vague racial implications in our everyday lives. The purpose was not to judge, thus I have now removed any identifying factors of the characters involved. I recognize that I could have easily made the same playful comment to a friend without noticing it, and we would shrug it off afterwards. I sketched the situation, because it could be a representative of a universal phenomenon. It was most valuable and beautiful when the girls had the moment of realization and mutual understanding. I was touched to have seen it happen.
Jena 6 is in a separate sphere. I should probably have started a new post about it instead of merging the two points in my last entry, which added to implications that I did not intend to make.
