Perspective | Hank Willis Thomas sees what America can't say

"The impacts of race are real, but race itself is a fabrication. So when I talk about race, I do it with a suspension of disbelief..."

"So therein lies the problem of attempting to talk thoughtfully about it. It's kind of like saying: 'Don't look at the spot on my shirt.'"
