That was a deep and insightful article! You were wrong about one thing. I really do care what happens to Black women. Whenever I have taught unarmed combat, I make sure to pull them into class and take special care of them. I found that many are rape survivors, so I always talk to them, make sure they are comfortable, have them do close contact drills with sparring partners with whom they are comfortable. I do the same thing at work with the young Black women who are new. I know when things feel bad and low, it is easy to feel alone. But you are truly not alone.
I am sending your article to a school I support. They will contact you asking for an interview about creating an inclusive curriculum.
