I Don't Know How One

You Know I Am Done Lying. Obscuring The Truth Is No Longer Something I Have Any Interest In Doing. I Want It All To Come Out. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

I Feel Like I Delivered A Blow, An Unfortunate Blow To A Profession That Not Only Did I Personally Love Doing But That I Value For Society.

I Believe My Own Demons Would Have Caught Up With Me Regardless Of My Race And Regardless Of Whether I Worked At 'the Times.

I Don't Know How One Would Define An Affirmative-action Hire. I Ultimately Do Not Know What Role Race Played In My Hiring.

I Have Lived A Life That Has Been Beautiful And Painful At Some Moments. But I Am Convinced Others Can Learn How To Control A Certain Kind Of Rage That Bubbles Up In Many Americans, Particularly, But Not Limited To, Women, Blacks, And Other Minorities.
