   Great reminder for me! I always get too emotional, and then the argument is lost, like he said. Thanks for posting!

   Me, too, Rhapsody. I'm guilty of calling people racist--and he's right: it's not that it's not TRUE, it's that it's harder to prove than words or deeds...and is such an inflammatory accusation that people freak out or shut down, and then the chance for transformation is lost...

   I know, Claudia--I'm still in professor mode, too! But I held back and didn't forward the link to my students...once they graduate, they're allowed to "friend" me on Facebook, so I'm hoping at least a few saw it there...
