Cities in Black and White
This week's column.
"I sometimes have a tendency to think of that time in college as one where all of us, of all colors, were hypersensitive in a way that college students can be to any part of their lives, focusing in on tiny details because they can afford the brain space. . . . But one part I didn’t have then though, is an understanding of how the physical legacies of racism are linked with the very personal prejudices in an ugly little reinforcing cycle."

I was originally going to try to work the "real red Indians" story of my last post into this column too, thereby rolling three things I'd planned to blog about into one column. But, I think wisely, I realized it was rather tangential to where I ended up going. Revision is good thing.
