Whiteness: shameful, boring. Black is beautiful

Sylvia Kronstadt
Salt Lake City, UT

For 60 years, I have wished I were black — or at least “colored.” This may seem outrageous to those who suffer every day from racism, but I long for the vibrancy, authenticity, dignity, style, spontaneity, sass, smarts, sexiness, depth, grace, resiliency and honorable history that I see in black people as a whole. I am not proud of my race. I am proud of the black race.
