This is an amazing story and shed light on the discrimination we experience throughout our lives.

…, but it’s not. I came across this term by way of best-selling author Kiese Laymon’s facebook page. He recounted a story about his mother in a hospital, afraid for surgery, and how she was at peace knowing that a Black doctor would be in the room, watching, making sure she wasn’t being “treated like a n-gger.” She felt comfort that, in the room, during her surgery, was Black Watcher.
