Another great essay William. I applaud your telling it like it is. We cannot pretend this is some new problem. I would venture to say that racism and bigotry are ingrained in human nature, but that does NOT mean we cannot change. I am an old white man and know that my forefathers caused the problem. I believe we need to acknowledge the problem and face it, and its roots, and then we can begin to find solutions. If we do not do this, and seek solutions, then we will destroy ourselves, but I believe we can, and that we are making progress, if ever so slowly. Your writing gives me hope and you help to create positive change. Keep it up.
