Tanner Ray Grandstaff, three words that when combined create a person, an identity. A tanner works with hides and turns it into leather by some process that is completely foreign to me.

My friends and I sit together, hollering when we see each other on the screen.

Rather than acknowledging the realities of how people of color deal with racism, white racists do mental and hypothetical cartwheels in order to justify these injustices.
