As usual McGrath is bang-on! Man, I'd really like to meet you someday.

I have been noticing something like PP's Q. I go to buckskinner gatherings and folk fests and motorcycle rallies and many other good ol 'Murican stuff and there are few blacks or Asians or other non-white persons attending. I think it could be because white society as a whole (and it's many smaller groupings) is just that; WHITE. If I were black I think I might feel somewhat intimidated just because of the racial ratio! I think that blacks (especially) are excluded or feel unwanted even though there doesn't seem to be a campaign to do so. I think that we are unwitting racists much of the time and I think that we need to address that. I get a very uncomfortable feeling when I notice the lack of "people of color" present at most of the events I attend. I don't know what to do about it but to think on it and bring it up and hope to see a dialogue develop!?!
