“A father writes a letter to his son. His writing starts with a recollection of his interview in a popular news show. The host’s question about the meaning of losing a body is still stuck in his head. The question is the host’s way of asking for reasons why he thinks America’s progress is built in violence and looting. At the end of the interview, he is asked by the host at that moment he is sad because deep inside he knows he failed to explain his views. He believes that the host and all the other people who think they are white are reveling on a deceptive hope. White America knows that its White Dream rests on the backs of the black people.”
From Instanalysis (2015-10-09). Between The World And Me: by Ta-Nehisi Coates | Key Summary Breakdown and Analysis (Kindle Locations 80-83).
