Well-said, Keith! I remember being the only Black child in my first grade class. One of two in the whole school (sister in kindergarten). And we had to read Black Sambo! I remember feeling confused, and I'm sure that I tied the story to the poetry my little classmates had me take home to my

I agree, Tracey. They did have Noein, which I really like (enough to have the first two DVD volumes), but I didn't watch it because it was the stuff I already had. When they finally got into the closing arc, they put the show on hiatus. (G...) Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)

This has always been my take on race perception. Whites are inordinately blessed by Deity. By this, I mean that there is no single word, phrase or image that can drive a Caucasian person to the heights/depths of rage, relieving one of all rational thought and reducing them to pure base
