Dear Whiny White People: Great rant from a Native American Facebook friend

341. One more thing...

When John Lewis said that young people today cannot even conceive "race," that to me was both good and bad news. It's good news because it means that we've come a long way where skin color may matter less. However, it scares me because young people should understand that history and never lose sight of it. They should study it and not allow it to be revised or contrived, especially not in the hands of Teabagging right wingers who are now writing these textbooks. It is important that we continue to have these conversations because racism is still very much alive, and still pervasive in this society, albeit more subtle. The bigger problem is that racism has become more institutionalized so much so that we may not fully recognize it or realize its impact (e.g. in the prison system, the justice system, school system, etc.)
