Racism is a fascinating and sad topic as it is so interrealted with actual real life experiences. Hopefully, one day mankind will get past it, though it has not for several thousand years.

I agree Strand. "There are so many questions, about love, about pain, about strained relationships..."
The interesting thing is, the RACES of man have been separated by mountains and/or water for thousands and thousands of years, (think about it) only to trade commerce via ships, leaving a few adventurers (or conquerers) here and there. But never in the history of mankind have we thrown together all the races in one land mass/one government and said 'ok now everyone play nice'. The United States is the first to attempt this. Is it working?
