I have pretty much come to the realization that race will always be a factor in society as long as there are identifiable races. Unfortunately, this is an inevitable fact. Ironically, if this fact was widely accepted, I believe, it would actually ease racial tensions slightly. That is, if everyone would realize that we are all "racist" to some extent, then we could all start-off at the same bargaining table and be on the same "playing field". Until then, it will just be a matter of pointing fingers and calling this person or that person a "racist" until violence errupts. Total, signifacant, and satisfacory racial harmony will never exist; it is a dream. It is just that MLK; just a dream. This is unfortunate, but it is a fact I believe.
If you have a white person who was intoxicated while driving and kills three black people in a car; people will say the white person will be let off easy because they are white and the victims are black.
If you have a black person who was intoxicated while driving and kills three white people in a car; people will say the black person will be judged more harshly because they are black and the victims are white.
