I have been writing professionally about such topics as race, politics and culture for more than 10 years. In that time, I have received many emails from readers. Some of them are requests for help or advice. Other emails contain kind words of support and appreciation for my work. Some emails are critical — albeit in a fair and reasonable way. There are also emails from people with specific questions about what they can do to fight against racism in their own communities.
Since I am a proud member of the working class, my values dictate that I try to answer all these emails whenever possible: People have taken time out of their day to read my essays.
