Overcoming

For racists, there are only two races: white and non-white.

Reading some comments, I'd say there are folk who don't realize they're sitting in the non-white bucket right along with me, sharing the same plight. 

I have to wonder who some of these folk actually see when they look in the mirror. 

Maybe they've never encountered a racist bold enough to blow their delusions, letting them know which bucket they're actually sitting in. 

There is always a racist or closet racist looking for opportunities for regression--to strip away any measures that foster equality.  Some of these folk are being handed the power they need to accomplish this.

It's a mistake to become comfortable, believing we have overcome...we are yet overcoming.
