A very beautiful article on a very ugly subject! I am a white male that up to now, only wrings his hands over the injustices perpetrated by my white race. I would like to engage in dialogue with blacks, but in this segregated world we live in, it is hard to find the chance to do so. Any suggestions? Even a group that meets once a month to discuss issues would be a good start I think. I also thought you might be interested in the effects of ongoing discrimmination from a scientific point of view.
