Insightful comment from a white friend [View all]

A close friend of mine who is white and married to a black woman told me that being married to her taught him so much more about race than he realized.

"Because of her, you now have a better idea of what it's like to be black?" I asked.

"No," he said. "I still have no idea what it's like to be black. But because of her, I have a much better understanding of what it means to be white."
