born blind. Racism is not a black and white problem(excuse the pun). It is a gray curve on the chart. One can be at the far end of the non racist curve only by being aware of the fact that they do see differences and consciously are aware of it. That is the only way to counter act racism. Anyone that claims to be non racist are at the middle of the curve at best. The can't see the forest for the trees.
This may only be my view and may offend some.
