Your drum collection...

... doesn't mean we have anything in common.

I'm glad you've purchased percussion instruments from brown people in various parts of the world, but sadly, this doesn't confer any insight into the Black Experience. If anything, your totems have permitted you to foster an unwarranted belief in your own generosity, wisdom and moral superiority.

Tell you what: let's you and me go to Union Square some Friday night around 12:30. You bring your drum collection and invisible melanin, and we'll see which one of us can hail a cab first.
