At this very moment, as I write this, destruction is going on in Oakland due to the decision of the grand jury in the Michael Brown/Ferguson case. I grew-up in Oakland.

I hate having negative thoughts about another race and their experience in this country. I hate feeling like a racist. But sometimes those thoughts just crop up out of anger, frustration, and misunderstanding. Coming to this site helped me get my thinking back on track tonight. I know there are many people who feel like me—they see, hear and experience things that make them think negatively about another race, but really, truly do not want to feel that way or think that way. Let me tell you, reading really helps. There are some great sites and great blogs where you can read some brilliant and eloquent discourse about racism and the experiences of minorities in America. It really, really helps.
