[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 590704, member: 944"] I appreciate the comment, but I also assure you I am not bereft of black friends, and we do discuss this topic. I understand the perspective you describe. I also live less than a mile from the Ebenezer Baptist Church and MLK home. A bridge near my home has his famous quote about “[B]Darkness[/B] cannot drive out [B]darkness[/B]: only [B]light[/B] can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” I am well aware of the truth of that quote and remind my black friends of it as well. They are honest enough to recognize that racism exists in both black and white communities and that revenge is not the way to go. I think we can have a civil discussion because we both acknowledge what was wrong about the past and (I think) we both want to same objective of the American dream of freedom and equal opportunity for all citizens. I find that encouraging. I look forward to further exchanges with you...and hope we can both listen to the other's arguments as we have been... [/QUOTE]
