Meanderings and Muses

I cannot begin to imagine what people of color are feeling; I'm not going to pretend I do. 

I've been doing a lot of reading to try to find ways to understand and help me do better. 

But some of what I'm reading has been written by white women - women just like me. 

How can they be so wise while I'm stumbling so?

I've finally decided - they can't. 

Those women just like me? 

They can't know any more than I can and I'm embarrassed for them. 

For their preaching. 

For their inability to realize they should be listening instead of speaking. 

So, the best I can do right now is to say, from my heart, I'm sorry. 

I'm sorry for all of us. 

What I CAN do is vote.
