Yep, feels like that to me too.

"I've grown to not like it either because it implies a pejorative"

By the conservative right. The opposite of what it really is, a positive.

That's a good reason for just using aware and active, instead of it.

FWIW It's way pass time to have a serious debate about race in America.

No child is born to be a racist or a bigot. That is something sadly that has to be taught.

Obama gave it his best effort but was ridiculed for it.

What my fear is we will never elect another president like him since we have all gone into our collective corners waiting the the bell to sound for round 10.

Considering the passing of John Lewis I hope that if nothing else we can all move on and eliminate race as part of the equation.

That won't happen until eventually all the bigots and racists die off and we breed them out of society.

We still have a lot of work to do.
