About 8 years ago I put up at deep-dive attempt at healing the race problem. Your essay today caused me to revisit it for the first time in ages. Words in red ("footnotes" really) are clickable. NB: the "N-word" appears frequently, judiciously, in an attempt to defuse it. Feel free to remove this comment of mine if it is not welcome. MeridaGOround.com
