Why?

Why can't we all get along? Why can't we be colorblind?

People like Rev. Wright keep reminding us that our white European ancestors counted humans of color as beneath them, less than created in God's image.

Am I sorry about this? Of course. Is it my sin? What repayment would be enough? Years of inequality could never be paid back.

So, why can't we get along? Can we ever go forward? Will race and skin hue ever not count?

Not as long as quotas exist. Not as long as color counts as entrances to college programs and job openings. Not as long as those like Rev. Wright hate and spread their anti-American rhetoric.

What will our America be like under the presidency of B. Obama?

'til later
