A 20 year old black woman was held by six white people for an entire week, kept in a shed, raped, beaten and forced to eat animal feces and drink out of a toilet to survive.

Fighting Racism
I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things.
