Hey man, it’s nice to finally meet you and have an open discussion outside of our forced environments. I know, we see each other a lot and it’s weird that we’re only having this conversation now. But I’m glad we’re having it. It stands to reason that we should be more than cordial and, well, downright friendly to one another too.

Now, I’ll admit that our interactions, while limited, have been somewhat awkward and I think I have an idea why. See, I’m black and you’re not and I get the feeling that you don’t really know many black people or, at least, you probably don’t have many if any black friends. That’s cool. I get it. We’re only 13 percent of the population so we may be hard to find in your social circles. But, here I am and there you are and it looks like you’re about to make a black friend so let’s put our cards on the table and answer some honest questions. Cool?
