That's a very helpful comment. I too was trying to distill complex thoughts in this post... that's why it ran to over 4,000 words and I'm still not completely satisfied with it. Your comment helped give me a better idea on what I was trying to say :) I think I need to write 4 or 5 more articles based on some of the things I brought up here. We've got to look at racism a new way from the bottom up.
