Eric Holmes' monologue broken into 4 acts theatrically explores the views of a man who is both white and black. He explains how he would have handled the situation with Michael Brown and officer Darren Wilson, and how he would tell his story to Charlie Rose on PBS while saying he has never experienced any sort of police injustices, but still recognizes that things could be different with a few small detail changes.
