Dear List, I don't mean to sound racist, and I hope that I do not get censored by the List Manager because I am not trying to offend anyone, and it would be unjustified. I am merely going to state a truth.
It gets me that we are always having meetings and summits that deal with race relations and the African, African-American, Native American and other minority communities. It seems obvious to me that we need a summit dealing with white people and their problems living on this planet with people who don't look like them. Why is there never anything or anybody that is up front enough to state that out loud and call for some action? Put that topic front and center on the table and discuss it. I would like to hear how we can deal with those issues. I am tired of hearing about "my people" and the changes we must go through to accommodate white folks problems. Some of my best friends are white people (no kidding) so I know they are not all bad. I would like to hear from some people on this issue.
