ParticipantDrunkle–good post, so true. I was teaching a diversity class, and one assignment is to complete an ethnic genogram. Focus on your family history, prejudices and who that makes you today. Now, I didn’t have any Asians in the class, but the Hispanics and Whites, revealed that what they learned was to hate blacks. That was the common thread of their prejudice. Every last one of them, except for the black students in the class.
Here is something interesting I heard on NPR the other day:

ParticipantOK…hijacking this thread….
Writing letters to Senators, Congressman, and even local politicians is a waste of time.
I was working with a young gal that was employed by Halliburton a few years ago, and she was drugged and allegedly gang raped in Iraq. For over 2 years, she could get no justice, the perps went free and there was never a court trial. Jurisdictional loopholes they claimed. DOJ was involved and didn’t do a damn thing.
We sent a well written letter to ALL Senators. Only a few wrote back and they referred to Barbara Boxer, and she never gave us the courtesy of a return letter. Some months later, this woman went on ABC’s 20/20, and NOW the Senate and the House are outraged. One hundred plus House Reps, and numerous Senators (to include Obama and Clinton) have now written to Department of State and the Attorney General to demand action. As much as I have conflict with the media, they were a benefit in this case.
Two years ago, I had a problem with the City. The Water Authority kept giving me the “sorry ma’am” line, it’s not our responsibility. I called Toni Atkins. I emailed her. I sent her snail mail. Called again. I finally talked to one of her staffers. Talked to her again. That woman didn’t do a damn thing. This went on for months.
Feeling pretty helpless and worried that my house was going to sink into the ground due to excessive water, I researched which City Councilperson voted against Condo Conversions. That was Donna Frye. Called her and left a message, and within ONE day, both Donna Frye’s office AND Toni Atkins lame staffer called me. Finally, we had the City’s attention, and the problem was resolved.
Letter writing didn’t help at all.
