This isn't gun related, but I think it's really interesting. There's a powerful discussion this week on Oprah about racism and the denigration of African American women, and men in American culture. Oprah says, "The Don Imus controversy opened the door and we're walking through it."
Before the commercial break there was a wonderful discussion of how we saw the humanity of the women Imus insulted and how rare it is for us to see African American humanity in popular media.
I want to see our culture move toward a culture where we truly see one another's humanity and one another's rights. We are still in a society where bias and delusion are the lenses through which people see one another.
