re: #57 Shiplord Kirel

The main problem with race relations in this country is that we have built a whole culture around denial and falsehood. We can’t afford this anymore. It’s really time to be honest about it.

I can’t get behind this. If you don’t teach a child one way or the other about race, they will ignore it. In that case, ignorance is bliss, but having gone through public school and a public university, their may be instances of individual denial, but not as a society. So much of schooling deals with race, every year an entire month is dedicated to the history of one race, so it’s almost impossible to deny.

This doesn’t mean there aren’t problems, but I whole-heartedly disagree that the main problem is denial.
