I watched this clip in class tonight. We had an amazingly powerful conversation afterwards. We talked about Eric Holder’s Feb. 18 speech in which he declared that America is a “nation of cowards” when it comes to talking about race. Of course, he has received an incredible amount of backlash now that we have decided that race no longer matters. After watching the clip below, I realized how right Holder is. We can’t talk about race because it is so painful, so terrible, and so horrifying what we have done and continue to do to each other. How do we heal without talking about the pain?
