cont:  Today as not since the Civil Rights Era see openly celebrated White Supremacy/White Nationalism.  The rift between "white America" and "black America", it seems, has become greater.  Even these threads of conversation re: race seem to take us further apart, not bring us together.  In 1992 Rodney King, during the LA riots which followed his beating, asked famously "Can we all just get along?" Twenty-five years later, it seems the answer is still a resounding "NO".  That, to me, is truly sad. Gary Crum
