Entry: The Sad Sorority of Skin Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_sad_sorority_of_skin#31303 Post contents: John - Maybe you should get out more often, perhaps visiting one of those ethnic neighborhoods that are considered "less desirable". You would find the "welcome mat" somewhat interesting, and perhaps be lucky enough to arrive back at your sanctuary unscathed, where you could pen another utopian screed. "Black on Black" crime data is shocking enough, but the data illustrating "Black on White" crime is enough to, well, make one blanche. Regardless of one;s high faluting hopes, "Tribalism" is the basis of culture. That Washington fellow once muttered something about our country being "the same people, with the same language, with the same religion, with slight differences". Something akin to that anyhow. Back in the day, there was a more clear understanding of what was required to be a "nation". It isn't as if we forgot, it is that over time we were convinced (public education and incessant propaganda)that the contrary was true. Divide and conquer, John. Divide and conquer.
