This doesn't heal wounds but makes them fester. We need to remember and admit our mistakes and wrongs and reconcile them. There is discrimination in employment in Richmond. There are very few African American males in management as team leaders, etc. It is hard to believe that the majority of best qualified folk are white males.
Hate crimes are on the increase against whites.
It has become an issue of villains and heroes. I make no apologies for the past. It hurts to see the Confederate heroes removed from bridges and monuments. I was born in India. I have been in the U.S. for 40 years.
