Perpendicular to the Parallel

by Jerry Firman

What do you see when you look out at your neighbors?

Black or white? Do you see those who have oppressed you or those who have been bound to you by friendship? Were your neighbors forced to be here or were they invited? Does the color of their skin please you or make you uneasy? There really are parallel universes and we sometimes live in both of them. We all are well aware of how this one we call the United States of America has treated its citizens. Have you ever wondered how the other Universe would be to live in?
