I think that white people, for the most part, never think about black people wanting to be in black only spaces, because we do not feel safe. 

 In my last book, “Writing Beyond Race: Living Theory and Practice,” I really wanted to raise and problematize the question: Where do we feel safe as black people? I definitely return to the home as a place of spiritual possibility, home as a holy place.
