Beyond the Surface: A Nation Divided by Skin
When New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson posted his raw, emotional thoughts about the Ferguson decision on Facebook in November 2014, he never expected to reach 800,000 people. His honest reflections-expressing anger, frustration, fear, sadness, and hope-resonated because they articulated what many Americans felt but couldn't express. Watson's perspective as a Black NFL player, father, and Christian offers a unique window into America's persistent racial challenges. His viral post evolved into "Under Our Skin," a book that explores how Americans with different skin tones relate to each other in a nation where racial tensions continue to simmer beneath the surface. What makes Watson's voice so compelling isn't that he has all the answers, but that he acknowledges the messy complexity of race in America while still seeking understanding and reconciliation. His journey takes us through personal experiences that reveal how deeply race is woven into the American fabric-and how we might begin to unravel its tangled threads.
