Quote of the Day

(Whenever I ask an audience) to identify how black racism adversely impacts the lives of white people as a group, there is silence.  There is silence, because while black people may have prejudices, and at times even feel hatred toward white people, perhaps even inspiring fear in many, the reality is that black people lack the power to affect the lives of white people, as a group, in the same way [as white people affect the lives of black people].  Black people's feelings toward white people do not preclude a white person's ability to get a loan, receive fair treatment by the justice system, acquire education, and so on.
