To the objects of racism, IT DOESN’T MATTER.

It’s still racist.

It needs to matter to them at least a bit, because different types of racism require different solutions.

Edit before post: There was a lot more I was going to say, but I deleted it because I can’t figure out how to say right.

I know how to deal with ‘hard’ bigotry, but the ‘soft’ forms of racial problems pose issues I don’t know how to address (even though I know there’s not much really soft about them).

I need to just confess at this point that I’m pretty much at my current limit for thought. I’ve always been a problem solver, working to figure out concrete answers to specific problems. The deeper issues of how and why people feel what they feel in the manner that they do baffle me. So I confess:

The racial issues America are most critical in 2014 require solutions that I am not able to conceive of. Those issues are my Peter Principal, my level of incompetence.
