Forced to ignore it.

I would never force the graceful underlying racist hostility I have experienced in my short lifetime on another person. I would only want them to somehow understand, and feel ashamed.

... or at least regret.

Do you feel as uncomfortable as I do?
Do you wake up with joy in your heart for the day, only to get to your first destination and remember that you're black?
Like I would ever be allowed to forget.
