appears to be a lot more to race relations than just skin color.

For example,you’re white. Where would you rather be walking the streets at 2:00 AM — in a neighborhood of large, well-kept, expensive houses owned and occupied by affluent blacks? Or in a dirty, garbage-littered neighborhood of dilapidated, crumbling apartments occupied by impoverished whites?

Conversely, you’re black. Where would you rather be walking the streets at 2:00 AM — in a neighborhood of large, well-kept, expensive houses owned and occupied by affluent whites? Or in a dirty, littered neighborhood of dilapidated, crumbling apartments occupied by impoverished blacks?

Let's look at that again from another perspective.

You’re white.With whom would you rather spend an evening — a group of well-mannered, witty, well-read, courteous blacks? Or a bunch of ill-mannered, dull, ignorant, discourteous whites?

Search your memory. Focus upon the people in your life whom you liked or disliked, admired or disdained, respected or looked down upon, whose friendship you sought or avoided. I submit that skin color by itself was rarely, if ever, the determining factor.

And mightn’t that be what Dr. King meant when he talked about color blindness — the right to shun or embrace, to like or dislike, to befriend or to push away, to associate with or to avoid people without regard to skin color?

Isn't that and not skin color alone what race relations are all about?

Think about it.
