...first glance, the brouhaha highlights some of the glaring differences between the two teams. Australia, cricket's most successful side, says it was only following rules when it reported Singh's racist remark. The Australians were appalled when Indian crowds made monkey noises at Symonds during a recent tour of India and senior Aussie players thought they had an agreement with the Indians that such behavior would not be tolerated on the field. But Indian commentators and former players argue that the word "monkey," even if it was used, is not offensive in India, where it is often used...
...distressed... We desperately need to have things that hold us together as a country, certainly the language is one thing. And instead, we are doing all kinds of things that are spitting us up... Somebody's got to talk about this even if you're going to be called racist, a xenophobe and all the rest. Somebody...

No single trait, most certainly not the pigment in one's skin, remotely defines any of us. If we want to end racism...
...whites are desperately wanting blacks to give them approval for their "enlightened" racial views. As someone who for the past 20 years has spent time in black neighborhoods doing everything from feeding the homeless to tutoring students in college math, I am painfully aware that many blacks are themselves racist. Many of those I know think that discrimination against whites is a mark of racial solidarity rather than a prejudice to be minimized and eventually abandoned. So I'm doing what I do because I was poor once myself, and I know how the soul of many can be impoverished...
