Racism is so politically charged in America right now that it's hard to have a meaningful and honest conversation about it. When folks from both sides of the issue are so emotionally invested in being right, even the most innocent of common everyday interactions quickly devolve into argument. "Unconscious Racism" is a perfect example lol... I simply believe that "Birds of a feather" is the natural order of things and no one should be ashamed of the statistical exceptions.

I believe the operative word is "politically" pertaining to "right now" because racism has always been and will probably always be a major issue. If racism is just flat out wrong, what is the other side of the issue that somehow it might be right to be racist? i think everyday interactions end up in argument because no one can hear the other side over their own shouting. Perhaps less talk and more breaking of bread??? I'm also not sure "Birds of a feather" is the natural order of things but perhaps evolved out of generational indoctrination because racism is not about the color of ones skin...... to be continued

Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
