Great list of books. Personally, I've already had the race dialogue. Too many times. I love to discuss the differences that all humans have and share, and I lament injustice wherever I see it. To quote NOFX "I ain't part of no conspiracy...I'm just your average Joe...Don't call me White."

I think humans the world over torment one another over weakness and fear. Hatred seems to be a higher valued currency than attempting to remedy the wrongs of the world. I wouldn't hold your breath for a collective apology from all people that look "White". I'm as confused as the next person is about why anyone anywhere has ever been discrimated against.

no longer definitely everyone seems to be able to having a deep and honest talk approximately race. I truly have white friends and we've suggested matters that in case you tried to do this with a number of you it may land up in a fist combat. the subject is you do no longer probably have absolutely everyone of the choice race to talk race with, so what do you do? You get around all your compatible friends of an identical race and attempt to talk race with them and that merely lands up turning out to be a verbal version of a lynch mob, in basic terms perpetuating your racists ideals. till you as persons grow to be waiting to open your minds to be waiting to seek for out a confidant of the choice race to talk those concerns, you will perpetually be caught in this conserving development of hate. solid success with that!
