"The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line - the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea." - W.E.B. DuBois, The Souls of Black Folk, February, 1903.

We didn't solve "the problem of the color line" in the 20th century. Racism is still deeply rooted in American systems and White & non-White American psyches.

I think that discussions such as this one help us to know each other better, and in knowing each other, we move closer to eradicating racism.

Then again, I believe that on this thread,we are largely preaching to the choir
