"We're Not Caught Up in Your Race Affairs"

The dark clouds are passing, the storm is breaking.
There's been a lot of anger, some focused, some misdirected, in recent days.

The president has it right: "As painful as these incidents are, we can’t equate what is happening now to what was happening 50 years ago, and if you talk to your parents, grandparents, uncles, they’ll tell you that things are better. Not good, in some cases, but better."

LeBron James is doing his bit, mixing it up with white privilege personified, and hey: it's all good:  "We don't care... We're not caught up in your racial affairs." 

Next stop: Jay-z and Beyonce.
This is how healing happens, people.

Cultural clashes classed up by celebrities. Justice rolls slower, but it's all good. Move along people, nothing to see here.

For example,
How quickly do you think those social media comments rolled off the Obama sisters' backs, for all the needless recounting the words have been given by prominent media? 98 percent of the country loves those two young women; they need not hide their color...

Get over, as the multicultural kids say, understanding there's a mighty complex world well beyond simple black-and-white. These are just the death pangs of the past, still sounding but weaker and weaker each day...
