   Still love this man. He was a saint. No one could preach racial diversity without coming across across accusative or judgemental quite like this guy could.

     @Klaatu Making a statement about commonality with someone of a seperate race IS racial diversity. It is just racial diversity by demonstrating it, rather than preaching it.

     Thats the whole point. Rogers was VERY careful not to make people feel attacked. he didnt preach to them. He demonstrated how people should be treated and let that be his example.

     This was very much about racial diversity he just demonstrated that the right way, without using identity politics, that is all.

     @freemo Fifteen years before I was born swimming pools were still segregated.
     
     FIFTEEN YEARS
     
     This blows my mind. We have a sizable amount of the voting population still alive with blackness in their hearts from bullshit their parents passed on to them.
     
     So much work to do, but I can only hope the youth finally shows up to vote and teaches them a lesson about this country's values.

     @feld By vote you mean against Trump I suspect? (yea i dont like him, I just hope the democrats actually have someone decent this time, neither side has for a while).

     But yea I agree, the pain is still far far too near.
