Hi Ryan, as you were just saying about Re: racism in amerikkka....

I agree that it is part of it.  Education, future hopes, job
possibilities, inability to leave, marital values, family values (other
than marriage) are also parts of it.  There is lot more I have left
out.

Not as much as yours is.  I, at least, recognize that there are more
