Yup, those were my thoughts as well. I have black friends and relatives, have volunteered in inner city schools as a tutor and Big Sister, and traveled to Africa, India, Sri Lanka and other third world countries simply because I enjoy getting to know other cultures. None of this mattered, and it was very frustrating. Perhaps if the blonde bobbleheads on Fox News and the like did not exist, we would be one step closer to co-existing peacefully.
