I think that is the problem. When we do not discuss the real problem and act as if it does not exist, then it continues. Its called "enabling" and "denial".

If I stand in front of UNA everyday and scream "No blacks allowed until 1960 because the south hates blacks", is that going to make things better? Its called opening old wounds and not letting them heal. We are not allowed to discuss the 'real problem' because that is racist. We can't even say Barack is black, that is racist. When we finally agree to actually realize that both blacks and whites can say black and white without hate, then we can discuss it.
