The rest of us are interlopers. America does not divide into Republican or Democrat. It resoundingly cracks into white or non-white.

I’ve come a long way, baby, as the Virginia Slims ad said. From the starting point of a fresh-faced idolator of the American Way I’ve been burnt and diminished and finally concluded I no longer want to be a part of all this.

My white ‘friends’ patronize me, I’m a piece of exotica. Rich, gifted, but child of a lesser god.

I enjoyed your article though.
