be discussed? I feel that if we are to find a solution to our race fever it is something that should be talked about. I do not think we will ever get beyond race if we do not bother to talk about it.

Yea. Talking is the first step. My school has been doing this recently (Its a predominantly white private school) and at first the students didn't realize their biases and stereotypes (even I didn't realize my own) but form talking about it everyone has matured and become a bit more insightful about race. It think it is something that should be talked about on both sides of the spectrum... black and white. I'm black and being a part of literally an all white discussion about it I learned a lot. I feel like most white ppl want to brush off race b/c they honestly believe there is no problem and black ppl want to brush it off because it has only caused more problems for them. But race cant just be forgotten like that. If we talk about it first we see all of the problems and can go from there to fix them.

really, i think it's the people who complain about it that cause the problem, i mean sure, at one point racism was just some stupid fear of different colored people, but now it has more to do with people having that subconscious feel that they really should treat foreign people differently, basically because everyone's been taught "they're different!" this goes for all races or groups, and yes, sometimes people are just stupid racists.
