40. I think that it is difficult for too many
to acknowledge racism when they see it. It's easier, more comfortable, to rationalize it and/or deny it than to confront racism in our neighborhoods, our friends, our own families. Even in ourselves. It is foolish to think that, after generations of racist conditioning, that we don't harbor hidden seeds of racism within.

That's true for any race, not just for Caucasians. We're the race that has held power in this nation, on this continent, for the last 2 hundred years or so, though. If we won't bring it to light and eradicate it, why would anyone else?
