Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Is Difficult For People Of Color
Race will never be irrelevant!
It's how we as humans mature and evolve to deal with our differences that matters.
Sex will always be an issue too.
And apparently there are some other issues that are important but I can't remember them now ... ;-)
Because when we meet people different from us we naturally and bilogically get a little wary - like children.
But also, like children, when we are shown that there is no reason to fear someone just because their appearance is unfamiliar, we can learn to play together nicely.
When gangs of kids get together and start bullying other kids for their differences than that's where the problems start and where the rest of us need to be ready to teach them alesson - hopefully that they don't need to be that way - butif necessary another more memorable one.
