I have told you already, repeatedly, in detail — over the course of many years. There is no point in going into it again. We are not going to see eye to eye and as sad as that is, it’s the truth. The fact that you enthusiastically applauded the Penguin’s shocking justification of silencing anyone trying to talk about white privilege by bringing up poor, innocent white children who are hungry and using it is a weapon is just one example. It’s too late for us to ever be friends again. You’ve made that clear. I’m sad about that, but also realistic.

I see social systems that work to harm certain demographics and to benefit others and you only see individuals. We’ve tried to reconcile that and it never worked. I don’t think there is any coming back from that. I’ve told you at least 4 times about my husband’s friend who was an Assistant Attorney General and how he was accosted by the police and told to get out of his own upscale neighborhood because they assumed he was a drug dealer, because of his race. You’ve never once commented or even acknowledged that story because it flies in the face of everything you believe about how Black people have largely brought oppression on themselves.

That’s the most I can give you. I’m not going to relitigate it all again. It’s caused me too much pain already. I wish you well. I really do, but I don’t want to do this any longer.
