Discriminatory action and feeling is within an individual. We
are not born with it...it is taught. Children do not care if their
playmates are green or yellow....only until told to stay away
and the enforcement of fear do children learn this trait.
Discrimination is not only about color and depth of color,
but a whole spectrum from religion, head covers, size,
education, sexual preference, (politics?!).
Solution..education and compassion, both can be taught
.

Discrimination against people on the basis of whether
they are lighter or darker skinned is a very real
problem but again my question is to what extent does
it remain a problem in Minneapolis and what can be
done about it?
