Posted in Food For Thought, Whatever is on my mind, issues of class on Jul 22nd, 2008

I just finished reading “Faces at the Bottom of the Well” by Derrick Bell and the overall theme was that racism in America is permanent and that Blacks will never be recognized as equal participants in the American experiment because America’s founders never intended to include us or any other minority group.
