Racism
I had a conversation with an older relative who, although he would never admit it, is a total bigot. He went off on a rant about "the Blacks" and their problems, and how Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson don't help their cause at all, and found that with that last sentence we actually agreed on something.
I think about racism in the 1970s and how it compares to attitudes today, and it puts a smile on my face. The younger generation just doesn't seem all that worried about skin color. It seems to me that the vitriol and outrage that Sharpton and Jackson spout is equally out of place. It makes me smile to think that we've moved beyond that kind of conflict.
