Thanks for the amazing post. I didn't mean to strike a painful nerve with mine, I wanted to try to point out that the happy white family isn't the norm, and that's what these programs are about (there are disproportionately more stories like yours in the black community than the white community). I just linked this [1] from another post, and I know that your voice is valuable in the race / discrimination conversation. Your situation was not just, and I'm touched by your story. So thanks.
