I think race does matter when the narrative deals with issues of race. I think it would be better to write about issues of race if you are apart of it because the writer will have a better understanding of the struggles. Someone who is writing about someone else’s experience doesn’t fully capture how the person would feel vs the person who can relate to the experience. I think that they would also get some information incorrect if they were to write about issues of a race they are not apart of, unless they do a lot of research on the topic and talk with people who are experiencing these issues, but I think it’s better if someone of the same race writes about the issues. I think the narrative will be more accurate and give the reader a better understand of the issues they face.

I agree with this, being apart of something and actually experiencing it, is completely different then viewing it from the outside. That’s why race does matter when the narrative deals with issues of race. Nobody will know more or understand more then the people who lived it.
