What does White have to do with understanding?
It amazes me how quickly this country went from largely moving on from racial categories to where we are now with neo-Jim Crowe housing, clubs, graduations on college campuses being demanded by the minority groups themselves. It's nuts.
Conservatives continually embrace the melting pot view of America and the radical Left continue to push for (mental) enslavement, segregation and divisions. If they didn't have black/white tensions what would they do for power? My God, they'd have to accomplish something for people like creating jobs or building infrastructure.
