So, when they are us we will have more tolerance. I have picked a cousin as a relative because I believe that will be close enough to cause tolerance. If it needs to be a brother, sister ,mother or father then racism will be around for more that a hundred more years in America.<br /><br />Look at India where race has been mixed for hundreds of years. The light dark divide has persisted for centuries. We at least are stopping de jury racism. If we continue to make progress is loving one another then by the end of this century racism may truly on the way out. <br /><br />The political parties have at least drummed out the most vocal of their racists that are white. Black prejudice (since you define racism as having a dimension of power) must be eliminated so as to not antagonize whites who could be incorporated in eliminating racism. <br /><br />I do not have a plan to eliminate racism nor prejudice. Our political prose does lend it.s self to reasoned debate on the subject. Observe Ferguson. MO.<br /><br />Cordially<br />Joe Kmiec<br />jekmiec@sbcglobal.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
