Bigotry and Racism ferment in a dark, secluded and protected space in the American psyche. Until it is brought out in the open it will continue to thrive. When people of same ethnic background start to confront each other on thier own myopia the covert monster that is racism will start to die.
White people enjoy the luxury of a social landscape that is tilted in thier favor. It would be a challenge of spiritual strength to truly facilliate a level of absolute equal opportunity for all Americans.
