I live in HB Stowe's hometown, and even now, so long after the Civil War, I see a black face here only occasionally. I suspect that her heart was in the right place, but there is nothing noble in wishing that you could have shared the suffering on the Titanic.
When I was a yute I used to dream that in some future melting pot we would all be several shades darker, with slightly epicanthic eyelids, and wider mouths. Nothing to highlight anyone as Other.
Ah, but I was so much younger then, I'm older than that now... h/t Bob
It’s a fine balance between looking healthy and looking enslaved. White people will bake themselves in the sun, and risk not being remembered when they return to the estate. Totally worth it.
