I have 'known' Pressing On for what seems like forever, and while she and I disagree on a great many things, I have never felt she was racist in any way.

And trust me...with biracial family members, and as I was a member of a 99% Black congregation for 24 years, I am very sensitive in this area...perhaps at times, overly so.

PO stands for what she believes in, be it secular issues or spiritual, and she is not always right, but which one if us is? By the same token, she is not always wrong, and neither are you.

And if having said all of this, if I have overstepped my bounds with either one of you, I do apologize.
But I just didn't want you, GC, walking away from this feeling as you do...

Very kind of you.
