Walter,

Superb piece of original writing! Linking your personal experience, vis a vis the dysfunction in your family is a terrific analogy that engages your audience through a commonly shared act of self-delusion. I found your comments about healthcare and poverty particularly salient to your thesis - "when people are kept poor, they are rendered incapable of speaking out against injustice". T

Many thanks for putting your thoughts to paper. Each word serves to chip away at the pillars of racism and oppression described in your essay.

Kind regards,

Robert Qua
