Unlike your Dad, my folks were pretty much racist. One of the things I tried hard to do with my own sons was to teach them that skin color should be irrelevant in judging another person, and I've applied that in my own life as well. I take Martin Luther King's famous words literally, and that is why I am opposed to affirmative action. Having said that, I think that a lot of black folks are too sensitive to their race, too eager to take offense, and too quick to claim discrimination, perhaps justifiably so based on their own exposure to racism during their life. And I don't think that the revelations about Rev. Wright and Obama's former church do the black image in this country much good, with respect to the perceptions of the white majority.
