In small insidious comments, and outright face to face comments. They spew hatred, and teach it to their children. And I don't think it really matters what age a black is in this country, how do they forget the past. Or overcome the present, when it is usually something that white people don't want to talk about, because they will have to admit the truth.

I still think the President of the US should not have commented on this situation as he did, without knowing all the facts.

Nothing could ever repay the atrocity of slavery. But affirmative action in the educational system that directly benefits African-Americans would be a good start.

Clarence Thomas is one who benefited from an educational affirmative action program.
