Could Trading Places for One Year Permanently Erase Racism?

What if we could magically flip a switch? In this thought experiment, we explore a wild idea—not realistic, but not impossible—for racism to completely disappear forever in America. Imagine this: Every person in the racial majority trades places for one year with a Black or Brown person. They would instantly step into a life where they experience the prejudice and systemic discrimination that people of color face every single day. For 365 days, they would see it, feel it, and live it. Would one year be long enough to create a lasting, visceral understanding of the experience of racism? Could this shared, immersive experience finally eliminate doubt and bring about permanent change? Join the conversation as we discuss the profound impact this "Magic Switch" could have, why this radical form of empathy might be the key, and why a year is the perfect—and perhaps most challenging—length of time for this transformation. Let us know in the comments: Do you think this would work? How long would it take to truly understand the experience?
