hence continually speaking of racial disharmony and using heredity to define privilege and entitlement will only result in more racial disharmony, racial entitlement and racial privilege. this will only encourage more resentment. make sense to you?

were the conversation in another direction, there would be other result. studying to be a medical dr, does not lend it?s self to being a archeologist in most cases. our focus in life and thought has great influence on our actions. correct?

changing the conversations to ?how can we help each other, or what can I do, or what can we do will lend it?s self to more positive outcome. actions follow thought, change the thoughts, change the actions and motivations, correct?.

this can be done on a personal level between individuals. what could you and I do as 2 individuals with age, income and social variances do about this by talking? I have no idea however it?s a start.

by both of us putting aside misconceptions and perceived grievances, or injustices we would be able to consider other pathways for the future.

any organizational movement will only be coopted by those with a non harmonic agenda as evidenced by the behaviors of such organizations currently seeking headlines. I see anger, hostility, vulgarity and brutish behaviors being accepted as a positive social justice moment.

I disagree. conversation of racial superiority, or racial privilege or racial entitlements and racial resentments only propagate division along racial lines. anger, hostility, vulgarity and brutish behaviors only produce anger, hostility, vulgarity and brutish behaviors. not social equality, and actually race should not even be in the conversation.
