The America I Love Needs to Do Better

Dave, I dont see anything that suggests a severe lack of misunderstanding or overt racism in the above posts. Maybe thats my problem and I'm missing something that you have seen.

I do think it essential to , in any respected forums especially on sensitive topics, to take extra care with posts and re-read them before hitting Enter.

On a not entirely unrelated note, I am a great admirer of Flannery O'Connor short stories. Sadly I doubt that they are politically correct even though she was a supporter of Martin Luther King, and so will be unlikely to be texts in US high schools . She and James Agee are proof that the America which I admire can produce people that are decent, compassionate and caring.

America is too great a multiracial nation to fail to overcome the setbacks , shameful acts and tragedies which all nations face in their history.
