You're right Big Sally. How could it be otherwise? Does that mean they shouldn't think about or express an opinion on race - even from the "white" point of view?  Whites don't know what it is like to be Black and Blacks don't know what it is like to be White. You don't know a thing about me and I don't know a thing about you.  But here we are living in the same world. Seems to me we better start talking with one another about how we're going to make that work rather than shutting down the conversation using put down, "what do you know" type dismissive comments. Solves nothing and keeps the divide among the races a mile wide.  That's about it.
