As I moved to less and less diverse places in my life, I realized that white people don't talk about race amongst themselves!

We need to have a discussion on race, but we also need to have a discussion on how we are treating poor and minority people in this country.

I still think that we have a hesitance to talk about things racial. And I think we do it at our detriment. We go from incident to incident, and we have spikes in which race becomes something that we talk about, as opposed to talking about race in those less contentious times when I think we might make more progress.

I never though much about race.

There has been, and there will continue to be, vigorous discussions about race in America. I worry that little will come of these discussions because we aren't addressing what must be done to change the current racial climate.

It's also important for those who promote those issues within the white community - the somewhat privileged community - to talk about issues affecting people of color.

Today's white majority is largely silent about the race question.

Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial.

If you talk to the Whites in Mississippi they will tell you, 'You can go to any school you want to; we don't see race.' Biggest lie ever told.
