But I wonder why it matters that he was black -- or if he was white, for that matter. I continually wonder what part of having a color-blind society people don't understand. Why do they keep wanting to inject a person's skin color into the conversation?
People who like to focus on race, whether they are black or white, are the problem. The only way we can have a color-blind society is to actually be one.
Now, if you want to talk about culture, that's another thing. Culture is behavior, not skin color. I have to yell at my kids all the time (because that's they only way they'll hear me) to turn down that goddam rap pseudo-music so I can hear myself think!
