[quote=Anonymous]Ack, sorry, I was still editing that post. 15:06 here. A point I meant to make, the main point, really, is that it's hard to think about Whitney's addiction as being a price she paid for being an integrator, as the author of the essay I posted suggests. Because she DID integrate. I both love and hate that my story is exactly what the author was talking about. She built a bridge whether she intended to or not. And she paid for it. So for the people being so harsh, it may be something to think about. To appeal so broadly, but to still feel torn, to do something important and special amid criticisms (loud ones, at the time) that you're selling out your race in doing so, came at a cost. So, I appreciate even more what she did for me, now that I think about it, considering the toll it took on her. I hope she is at peace. [/quote]
