But, damn. We are definitely not living in a post-racist society and I can imagine there are a lot of people out there wondering how much of a society we are living in at all.

Human race should learn to value the dignity of every person. It looks like people think they are superior race. It seems they can do anything they want because they have more rights than others. These behaviors and attitudes will destroy all human beings, as it will result in unending conflict. Though we look different from each other and unique in a physical sense, we still share the same rights before God. - Alon Calinao Dy

Eventually, some black thinkers believe, this "separation" may be the shortest route to an authentic communication at some future date when blacks and whites can enter into encounters in which they truly speak as equals and in which the white man will no longer load every phrase with unconscious suggestions that he has something to "concede" to black men or that he wants to help black men "overcome" their blackness.

Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?

I am first of all a white man, and only then a socialist.

It's not the fact that some people disagree with the protests. That is as much a right as the protests themselves. It is the hateful, profane, condescending way some have expressed their discontent that baffles me. How do you criticize actions you've deemed disrespectful and divisive and an affront to civilized behavior with rhetoric to the same end? That's like the devil judging the Grim Reaper for harvesting souls.
