Happy MLK day to you, too, Mike.<g> I enjoyed your post.
I look forward to the day when we can have public discourse about race with cordiality. It could get pretty complicated. All the subtle gradations of color, religion, race, ethnicity, a million reasons to hate each other, if you've a mind to.
My favorite TV show, "Homicide," had an interesting segment a couple of weeks ago, a white bus driver was killed in a riot in a black neighborhood, and there was a subplot about Baltimore blacks being prejudiced against blacks from the West Indies, and vice versa. Most white people don't realize that some black people are prejudiced against other black people based on how light or dark they are.
Well, I am planning on spending the day shopping, funny, I plan to go to the Halal Supermarket (Lebanese), Samhadi Sweets (Iranian), and the Daruma Grocery (Japanese). I have never met a cuisine I didn't like.<g> Here in Fairfax, there are at least a hundred different languages spoken. Maybe someday, we can all get along. |
