Sorry you mis-understood my comment.  Did I not make it clear enough that racism exists and I accept it's presence. Just because I am caucasian and have not experienced witnessing it...doesn't mean anything to a Black individual. The point is even tho racism may be unseen doesn't mean it isn't a serious problem. I fear far to many people have no idea how subtle it can be, how it may be all around but unrecognized to non blacks.  Many years ago while working with an African American here in Eugene, a national leader with CORE we were having this same discussion. Me telling him how I was sure I wasn't a racist and that I was trying to remain so. He said something I have never forgotten..."ok your not racist, let me ask you this, when was the last time you invited a person of color over for dinner?" At the time there wasn't much opportunity but 50+ years later I can say YES I have and comfortably share the details of the evening. RIP Clyde and a belated Thank You.
