You're exactly right. On my podcast, I talked bout how...while this blatant display of hate and racism was in front of our eyes....most racism is subtle and happens much closer in our lives. Racism happens when I clock into my 9-5. Racism happens when I go up the street to get gas. Racism is in effect when I walk into Wal-Mart and see--many times-- my beautiful brown sistahs working there. Racism is subtle and prevalent and this little antic on television fails to still address racism for what it is and where it is.

True. It's a sad world we live in. But I believe other generations have been through worse and I believe future generations will also go through worse... but that won't keep me from fighting. We are the remedy. We are the light at the end of the tunnel = )
Exactly. We also have to start opening the conversation as a whole people to talk about subtle racism as well, especially in the media.
