Just to clarify, when I said Duane, my friend, "happens to be black," it wasn't meant in disparaging way. My thought process was something like, Duane (is a human like me) who is my friend. He happens incidentally to be of the black race, but that is of no importance to our friendship, and now that I think of it, probably most everyone else I know, who do not know him, probably don't even know he is black, because I just refer to him as "my friend Duane." The only reason I used that phrase was to demonstrate, I suppose in my own defense, that I'm not what's commonly called a racist. It might not have come across very well, I don't know. I miss George Carlin. He was fun. --Kyle
