When the actor Ted Danson appeared in blackface at a 1993 Friars Club roast, he ignited a firestorm of protest that landed him on the front pages of the newspapers, rebuked by everyone from talk show host Montel Williams to New York City's then mayor, David Dinkins. Danson's use of blackface was shocking, but was the furious pitch of the response a triumphant indication of how far society has progressed since the days when blackface performers were the toast of vaudeville, or was it also an uncomfortable reminder of how deep the chasm still is separating black and

We've got to get beyond the ideology of race per se; of nationalism, of creed, etc. All these attributes are just idenifications with something which is not real. There is no such thing as an American, an African, a Scotsman, an Irishman, etc. Every person is of mixed blood, every person is a result of people who have travelled the Earth, there is simply no racial/national purity. The old tribal identity serves no purpose other than to divide & raise hate & fear.
It's the same with that other trouble maker - religion. Religion is just a belief, a thought process. End the thought, there's no belief - no christianity, islam, judaism, etc. Wake up to what's really going on. When there's no identification with whatever, there's clarity & that means the manifestations of ignorance are seen for what they are - emotional reaction is not necessary.
