Absolute nonsense

Burial Exposes Racial Rift in Texas - NYTimes.com

On the one hand, an article like this makes me ill. On the other it serves a useful purpose - to remind us that race still matters. We have not crossed some Utopian boundary yet and entered into the promised land where we hate each other for being bad people instead of looking "not like me." Regardless of how one views this, which side of the issue you feel has the best point, race is the central issue. There are still white cemeteries and black cemeteries. How does that even make sense? Even if you ARE a raging racist why does it matter who is near you (separated by feet of earth - and probably clay, at that) if you will never know?

Conclusion: RACE IS STILL AN ISSUE. Don't be dumb. Don't pretend it isn't.
