I want to believe that this is just the spasms of some of the more warped racial and cultural dynamics in this country that are headed for the grave. I want to also believe that no one is going to innocently predecease them in the thrashing.

Yeah, I hope so too. On good days I do believe that! I mean, hell, the way my family has developed leads me to think those dynamics are headed to the grave.

I also want to believe that when I die, there will be a chance to hang around and swap stories with people and fix all my shit and hash out all the things that went wrong before moving on to whatever.

That's something that I think we gotta do before we die.
