I think what we’re finding is that racism exists at so many levels – both individually and in the culture in a broader sense. On the surface many of us behave in a non-racist way – but beneath the surface is something quite different. Sadly it’s become part of our fabric whether we like it or not. Recognizing it within ourselves, and helping others seeing in themselves is critical. This has to occur peacefully but deeply without the usual judgments and name-calling. It is a great challenge – but can be done if society commits to it completely. Not an easy task.
Spending too much time looking in the rearview mirror makes going forward difficult if not impossible. Keep your eyes on the road ahead, and have a Happy New Year!
Well….. someone has to shoulder the responsibility!
