I was in high school, a racially integrated one, in the 60s, discussing racial issues with a contemporary black woman, an honors student, headed for a fine college. I asked her why she was so angry, what kind of discrimination she felt, living in a middle class community, going to a good school. Her answer, spat out at me, made me realize that discrimination was occurring at the very basic levels of her life, in ways I couldn’t ever experience.
