, not exactly a bed of roses in our white dominated society with vestiges of discimination still around. I was a bit dismayed when she said what she said, but I am trying to understand her perspective. Improving race relations is a bumpy road. It doesn't help to throw your white perspective on it. Jeez, she feels pride in her country now. Maybe that's a big step for her. Look at it as progress, not as a friggin cancer.

That's not progress in my book, it's
regress. This country has done more good for the planet than any other in the last few hundred years. How dare she not feel pride in that alone. How
dare she.
