I believe that writing about racism is more about writing about the issues. Race is a multi-faceted concept encapsulating culture, history and more to a person which is something that cannot be empathized without their own experience. A white women in the 1890’s, while being able to understand prejudice and oppressions, would not be able to understand how it feels to be an African-American women in the 1890’s; their stories may contain similar chapters but speak wholly different volumes of words.

I like your point. It’s basically saying that it always benefits to know both sides of the story. I agree because each side of the story could highlight something different. Maybe there should be a “Desiree’s baby- Armand’s Side.” I would definitely watch that.
