If it's a rant, it's a good rant. It is hard for white folks to understand the oppression that the black folks suffered and still suffer. Living in Canada, on the west coast, where our thinking is very liberal and we have a large variety of races mingling quite well, it is even harder for me to truly understand. Of course education informs us but it fall short of "walking for three days in your neighbours moccasins". My family originates from northern Europe therefore white. My nephew married a black girl who originated from Africa, through the Caribbean. Lovely girl and we are proud to have her in our family.
One man, years ago, when asked what race he was, answered, " I am a Mother Earthian". I like that and use it often to describe myself.
