33. It's not meant to be...
That is by definition racist. Doing so would destroy the dialogue before it even starts.

... but I think that if we intend to create a less racist society we need to know all the ways it is racist. Just "fixing" what the majority thinks needs fixed still leaves that majority setting the agenda, doesn't it?

Plus, the dialogue on race needs to include not only blacks but Hispanic, American Indian, Jewish, Arabic, Asian, and etc. Admittedly, we tend to think only of African-Americans when we talk about "race issues" but although the other groups are smaller in numbers, they feel the same pain from overt racism directed against themselves.
