35. No matter how many good intentions a person may have,
Edited on Thu Aug-19-10 09:45 AM by political_Dem
there are a lot of benevolent people who are very clueless about race. And some are at that age where they are unwilling to learn about racial issues not only in America, but the rest of the world.

I like Dr. Dean. But am I surprised at his words? No, not in the least.

Race is the great unspoken national dialogue in this country for a reason. It is easier for the dominant culture to sweep it under the rug and deny that racism exists.

That even comes out in their language.

Is that right? Hell no it isn't. But who will be the first to start a national dialogue in this country without the fear of upsetting the sensibilities of the dominant culture?
