How did you initially respond to your hubby's DWB incident the first time you witnessed it? I'm sure he told you stories where he was victimized or his friends had been. Did you believe DWB or racism was real before you met your hubby? How did your family member respond? Has he or she gotten on the DWB or systemic racism soap box since the incident occurred? Or, is it something that was dealt with at the moment and never really addressed since?
