To be clear, I don't think you are part of the problem Dennis. You sound like you are part of the solution. I of course don't have the answers, but I think it begins by having difficult conversations free of contempt and accusations. I think we need to be much more transparent about our history. It should be taught more comprehensively in our schools. Also, our schools and neighborhoods are still far too segregated. If we are going to end racial division we need to be more proximate in our daily lives and associations. I also appreciate the civil dialogue. It's pretty rare these days.
As a side note, I know age is relative, but I have raised 6 teenagers so I don't consider my self a young man anymore :).

Six teenagers? You have my condolences. I've only been able to raise 4 teenagers while retaining a portion of my sanity.
I jumped to the concept of you as a young man still in college when I peeked at your bio here on substack.
The conclusion fence is a dangerous barrier to jump over 🥴
