I'm reminded ...Well said, both your words and his. I'm reminded of a young, white male, late teens, early twenties, who I met in college, about eleven years ago. He said there was no longer prejudice and discrimination because we'd legislated enough remedies for it. While I, as a female, and other classmates who were black and/or foreign gave him numerous examples of discrimination we regularly experienced in our daily lives. He thought we were just being hyper-sensitive and in fact, it was the white male in society who was now in the most danger of being discriminated against. We asked him for examples from his own life when he was discriminated against. He could not give any personal examples but was still certain he was right, while all of us were wrong. It is times like those that remind me, we still have so far to go; and it will be times like tomorrow's inauguration that give me hope that we will eventually get there.VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.com
