We have come a long way and have a long way to go. That said, a good friend of mine, a black man who spent his childhood life in the military in the south in the 60s told me about the times he couldnt drink from fountains and use most bathrooms because he was different. He told me, "son, when we cant find a way to remove race from the conversation and keep it about the human instead then we will never continue foward. We have let the narrative be segregation rather then one people." If that is wrong then I will let Garland know.
I dont disagree. This is why I dont usually get into these conversations. My statement from the start was not received accurately. See my reply above.
