Nice post, Dallas. We have all come and gone countless times, wearing 
different racial "clothes". This is not just nice philosophy, it's 
experienceable. Those of us who disparage one race will return as the 
apologists of that race.
We've all been black, white, yellow, red. There have even been blue and 
green races. The designer race, the 6th, according to some info I heard, is 
being currently prepared ( on the other side, so to speak) in the 
U.S.,Europe, Aus. combining the best qualities of the 3 major extant races.

Ali
