I think those are, precisely, the questions. I think the answers need some thought. *G* And I think the answers vary with the circumstances in which one finds oneself.

I do have some experience helping people deal with their internalized (and often unconscious) racism and all the feelings locked up in that simple little word.

I'm gonna chew this one for a bit and then I'll share what I think. (Be patient-- it's a busy couple of days I'm looking at.)

Can't wait to see what everyone thinks.... *G* maybe, together, we can "solve" this puzzle. ;~}
