As you know, I am white in all aspects but name, which is Spanish (by way of Puerto Rico) origin. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to add to this post and say that having grown up in an inner-city environment in the 1970s, and having befriended and shared living space with black people, I can tell you that race was rarely an issue with us. We acknowledged it's existence, for sure, but we gave it minimal import to the relationships. <BR/><BR/>However, I'll make this disclaimer: I am white, and these are the views of a white man. Moreover, I can only go by my impressions of the relationships, which, to this day have not changed. A few weeks ago, I hooked up with some of my inner-city "friends" and was given a welcome befitting a long-lost family member.<BR/><BR/>So, yeah, in sharing my experience with you, indeed, it was only a matter of time that we'd elect a black man as President. And, I'm all the happier for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629697885803683050.post-72452539468364550692008-12-02T18:20:00.000-08:002008-12-02T18:20:00.000-08:00Great article Dave!
