i took an awesome class called critical theories on race last spring. it was amazing. we got into really cool discussions, and our professor was (is, really) brilliant. we talked a lot about institutional racism, as well. i learned a lot in that class - i think everyone benefitted from it in some way or another. more people need to take classes like that, classes that flush out the ACTUAL issues, instead of focusing on slavery and how we've done so much since then and blah, blah. it's not wrong to acknowledge the steps we still have to take.
