What a nightmare for those of us born c. late 40's to late 50's ... black or white (the two colours cited being more or less valid at the time of the generation's formative years - whereas more flavours, again generally speaking, are around now).  All we believed in, some of us fought for ... trashed in favour of a new form of racism.  I'm glad my black friend/mentor, who grew up black in Chicago in the 40/50's, is not around to see how his adopted country of Canada/Ontario turned out.  He would be horrified, as we both were as we watched this develop.  This will not have a happy ending for anyone, despite all the squishy good intentions.
