that has been proven wrong in my thinking as of late. There are many young PoC that are aware and angry at the current state of race relations in this country. They ARE talking about it, BLM is a prime example, and talking, I learned in the 60's, leads to action. May they destroy the racism that has generation by generation been perpetuated by those who are racially and culturally narcissistic. The young people will listen to us old codgers. We need to keep teaching and advising.
