Be an African-American woman for one month. To experience all of the horror, pain, and suffering both groups have to deal with every day. To know what it means to be black it today’s world, and to have dealt with the daily assault of sexual harassment would help me be so much more empathetic. It would also make me a better person, countryman and world citizen. And the best part is when I hear someone complain that “you just don’t understand” what it’s like to have a period, to deal with hormones, or to be discriminated against…I can just simply say Bullshit!

It also would be nice to do this as Halle Berry or Thandie Newton because they rock!
