Hey Amazing:
Just read your post. I enjoyed it and i agree with your assessment of the situation in our country currently. A lot of progress has been made since your younger days, and also since my own too. I'm still young(juat turned 24) but I can see much more diversity to day than when i was a young kid. However I do feel there is starting to be a loss of dialogue on the subject. That's why I started that thread yesterday. I was offline last night so I didn't see the rest of the replies. I also feel that race issues need to be seen from a different perspective nowadays, as there will be no clear-sut majority in this country in the not to distant future. This new perspective needs to address the problems of the inner-cities of this country, especially education and economic and cultural developement.
Here in New Orleans there is little or no economic developement and the public school system is crumbling. This has created a culture of poverty in the city that seems to be perpetual. The racial attitude of ppl in this area of the country is not as progressive and I feel that is a reason why this culture is being promoted. It's a bit off subject but i feel that race does play a part in issues like those i mentioned previously. So while enormous progress has been made, I feel we still have a long way to go.
ONE....
