Yes, I am torn. And my emails usually are very diplomatic. But as I kept adding links... the tone got worse. During all of our years of friendship, race has never been an issue - I don't remember us ever discussing it - we agreed long ago to stay away from politics completely, I get too passionate 
, so we stay away (until she voted for Obama). Only within the last year did we talk about the young woman her son is obsessed with, their relationship is barely a year old. So we've never even had a conversation about racism. Typing that, it seems pretty strange.
I don't know what to do, thinking it's best to just wait. She's probably realizing the same thing. But it's going to have to come up. This was too deep a movement, too monumental, too intense to be ignored.
But I do appreciate your concern!
