Another good thought out article. It is sad that the ones frothing at the mouth against people of color, have no interest in reading this. Racism is an ugly reflection of a person. One thing the  racists do not think about... as they loudly ensure everyone knows that they are god fearing christians, who go to church every sunday to pray for their salvation. They forget their jesus was a refugee, fleeing a despot, propped up by the Imperial Roman Empire, which had invaded and occupied that region, to leech like parasites, off other peoples resources and lands.
As a Native I see America as the modern Imperial Roman Empire, invading and occupying other countries to allow our government to bribe the dictatorial puppets we are propping up, to allow foreign corporations to o in and steal their resources and lands.
I brought that up to show the parallels between the Imperial Roman Empire, America and the rest of the colonial governments who subjugate people of color to steal from them.
