icon:  I'm an "old white guy" and, although i've been very involved in supporting Civil Rights and fighting racial and sexual discrimination all my life, I still do it from the "place" of a "white guy."  Yes, I can empathize with victims, but no, I really can't fully appreciate being the "target".....  A real conversation about these issues would be too complex and, for me, too personal for this site.  I would value a visit with you, should you ever be interested.

My respect and regards,

Gary Crum
