I agree that it is very important for folks to be able to find time for recreation, and to be able to get away, to escape to preserve their sanity and themselves. I have a number of privileges that allow me to have options when it comes to escape. Some people are treated differently based on the color of their skin, sexuality, gender, etc. and this momentary loss of privilege helps me remember that. I can watch a movie, and go to sleep in my own bed without fear that the police will break down my door and shoot me (Breonna Taylor) I can watch a baseball game and not fear that the broadcaster will unknowingly broadcast hateful language about my sexuality (Thom Brennaman) I can let my 12 year-old children play with toys in the yard without being mistaken for 20 and shot (Tamir Rice) I can drive my car and have the taillight go out and not have a police officer overreact and shoot me out of fear (Philando Castile) I can watch professional sports anytime they are on without having to hear coded language for racism. I can watch white athletes never be asked to speak for their entire race. I can escape because my skin color lets me. This break is time for me to reflect on how I can work to create a world where everybody can truly take a break, recreate, enjoy life without fear that somebody else's racism will tarnish the experience. Imagine never having baseball. Imagine never being able to truly escape.
