Sometimes I think people just don't *want* to believe that race has something to do with anything anymore. We want to think that we're past that sort of bigotry these days. ...But we're not. Just look at the the way the homosexual community is treated now. Same shit, different group of people that are different from your average white, middle class American.

GREAT mental picture.
