You and I grew about the same time, i was born and raised pretty much in the south but in a cross racial home and because Dad was in the Military, i also experienced other cultrual and geographical sectors of this country, like Hawaii while in high school and a southern california for a couple of years earlier .. exposure to other cultures while very young makes a huge difference. exposure to racism, hatred and bigotry pretty much cements that into the thinking of incredibly far too many in our country still.

and i share your feelings of despair and grief... we can be so much better as a nation than what is being cultivated now.
