I wish there was a safe pill that would let someone do the "Black Like Me" bit. (In fact, I've often wished I could do exactly that, just to find out how widespread it is. Of course, I also realize it wouldn't be really *real* because I'd know I could stop taking the pill.)
A lot of people just don't get it, and can't believe the level of hatred, of bigotry, and of just plain stupid prejudice that are out there. They think that the really heavy stuff must be in the past. They don't get how current it is, because they don't have to.
I can only imagine how hideously aggravating that must be.
