Rorschach Test

Life has drummed into me that, for the most part, for the world in which I live, reality (the "white society" one I have to deal with most of the time, at least) is in the eye of the white beholder. So do me a solid; look at this photo and tell me something:

What do you see?

WHOM do you see? (No insults/compliments or complimentary/insulting nouns, adjectives, or adverbs allowed)

Is it really true that a white perspective delivers the most accurate meaning? Here are a few:

Some see a man looking out a window;

Some see a man behind bars;

Some see a man kneeling before the Cross;

Some see a man about to be lynched at a KKK human piñata party and barbecue;

Some see a witness to the Crucifixion;

Some see a man about to be crucified;

Some see salvation;

Some see damnation;

Some see humiliation;

Some see hopeless resignation;

Some see self-righteous pontification;

Some see righteous indignation;

Some see a window into a man's life;

Some see his eyes, "windows to his soul";

Some see a troublemaking, "uppity nigger";

Some see a "suspect who fits the description";

Some see a "perp";

Some see a threat they may have to shoot, or tase, or chokehold the life out of at the first opportunity;

Some see a bullseye;

Some see predator;

Some see prey;

Some see a martyr;

Some see a mystic;

Some see "Al";

Some see "Alfred";

Some see "Mr. Heath";

Some see "boy";

Some see "STRANGER DANGER";

Some see a powerful shout "LOOK AT ME!" "LOOK AT THIS!";

Some see a show-off;

Some see a "Victim";

Some see a "Persecutor";

Some see a "Rescuer";

Some see themselves;

Some see "other";

EVERYONE either sees a black man or a man whose (societally pigeonholed) "blackness" is invisible to them.

"Colored"? Really? But 'black' is not a color.

"Colorblind"? REALLY? Did you not hear me?? I said "'BLACK' IS NOT A COLOR."

Some see a man looking out a window.

At what?

At whom?

I am looking at the world as it is.

I am watching events unfold.

I am looking at YOU.
