The distinction we make about race must be some primal system that forgot to grow up. We’ve all heard ourselves at one time or another claim to be color blind and mean it and be both surprised and ashamed of our private thoughts about people who are not like us. In the last two years we’ve heard people say some of the most outrageous things about the President of the United States and his family and before taking a single proclaim “I am not a Racist”.  I’ve wondered were our meanness comes from, what its purpose and when if ever will it end. It is painful to confront ourselves.
