I look forward to a day when it becomes a nonissue.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190392468517517044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-86807954377240489672009-07-23T06:35:18.807-07:002009-07-23T06:35:18.807-07:00It's a tough situation to comment on.

Not just Henry Louis Gates Jr -- but institutional racism as a whole.<br /><br />In England, institutional racism in the police is something that has reared its ugly head several times in recent years. The handling of the case of Stephen Lawrence's murder is particularly damning.<br /><br />But it's all very well for me to sit here and try to dimsiss these things as too many ignorant and stupid people having access to the internet -- and I also include the blatant racism and hateful language you refer to on Domelights. Because it's not just that, as you point out -- these same people are meant to be protecting the public.<br /><br />I wish I knew how to move on from here, I wish I had some solution.Come Back Brighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265267087716795746noreply@blogger.com
