Passed a couple of ravine dwellers in town this morning, one a Black dude and the other white. Judging from their animated conversation and the fact they were taking turns pushing the same shopping cart loaded with camping gear, I assume they were friends.
Seems to me the animus between the races is peculiar to certain socio-economic groups. While I haven't asked them, I have a hunch Black billionaires like Oprah or MJ are more than comfortable hanging with billionaires of a lighter hue.
Then, at the other end of the spectrum, you've got the folks who have nothing left to lose. Pretty hard to hate whitey for his white privilege when you're sleeping in the same ravine and taking turns pushing the same shopping cart!
