If parents teach their kids to love their neighbor as you love themselves, it's a good place to start. If parents teach kids about anger management, tolerance, and forgiveness, they're ahead of the game.
Personally, it took going to an integrated school and making friends with people of many races to learn to channel that anger into something more positive. I can't lie -- the anger still exists sometimes -- and I'm sitting here as a black woman who is a member of an NPC sorority. But as soon as I learned to look as people as individuals not as a collective, what anger I was holding on to dissipated over time.

bump... I think you said it beautifully.
I have another question. Why do people call some one who is black African-american? Becuase not every one who is black is American and 2) not all black people are from africa, (originaly all people are from Africa, I am not going get into that)
and in America, How many generations does it take where you are no longer of your ancesters nationality. Like my mom is a 2 generation American, but considers herself American, with an Irish backround... even though both sides of her family is as pure as an Irish family can be genecticly.
