Racism isn’t something that everyone goes through, but people have witnessed it sometime in their life. Today there is a racial divide in the United States. Racism is still very much alive as it is in “The Kind of Light that Shines on Texas”. That being said, I empathize for Clint because I’ve grown up around racism, witnessed and endured racism in my lifetime.
