I wouldn't go so far as to say that I believe that, and I certainly won't put all of the blame on white people, but people have to be open to suggestions. It's hard to be open to suggestions when you're on the defensive, and that happens a lot -- on all sides -- in these discussions.

I'm not only talking about white people. Prejudice goes far beyond white on black and race period.
