I believe it gets better with each generation, but it's important for parents to teach their children to love others and be kind to each other.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352258244647772022.post-42892614162207363232014-08-30T15:37:57.488-07:002014-08-30T15:37:57.488-07:00Great ideas, I will add them!Great ideas, I will add them!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187854108656107958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352258244647772022.post-11588388519084207552014-08-30T15:37:38.827-07:002014-08-30T15:37:38.827-07:00That is a fantastic suggestion.

Seriously, magic flies out of that brain. And it's not just race. She writes about sexuality, both male and female, like no other writer I've ever seen.<br /><br />I think The Autobiography of Malcolm X is a must read for anyone with an interest in race in America (which should be all of us who live here).
