The question shouldn't be "Why do Black folk see racism in everything?"

The question should be "Why do white folk not see any of this?"

The answer to the better question is of course, that there is an information delta between "what Black folk know about racism" and "what white folk know about racism."

Racist people don't want you to know any of this stuff. Because some people, on reading this stuff, say, "Sounds bad. We should maybe change things to be less bad?"

I wrote about the 'Dear Gillian' project, which sounds AWESOME but involves some really worrying contract terms for submission.

As the Ts and Cs stand, contributors won't be paid (or even credited), and the publisher gets the rights to their story *even if it's not selected for the book*
