I know there are many "black" issues that I will never fully be able to see "your" side on, because I've never been there, but I do think it's important, especially in race discussions to get input from both sides.

And I can't tell you the number of times I have felt uncomfortable posting in GL or CC, because if I express my "Black" point of view, I will be accused of holding on to the past, or playing the race card (although race is not a card, tm Chaos,) or turning everything into a racial issue.
