Talking about racism is important precisely because doing so makes us uncomfortable.
Helen Owens, 57, of Banta, California, told us about how one instance of racism she experiences in childhood stayed with her for the rest of her life. It happened when a friend’s father said he didn’t want his daughter to spend time with Helen anymore, because Helen is black.
“People are afraid to talk about it because they don’t want the issue to come up,” Owens said. “They don’t want to be called out to say that ‘I look at you different because of what you look like.’” “When we got there to the cemetery, she was shocked when we went to place the flowers,” Sumpter said. “Sometimes you have to open up wounds to actually let the sunlight in, so the healing can at least start”
