Isolation of the races, whether by accident of geography or purposeful design, produces ignorance (or "lack of understanding" if that makes you feel better) of issues that need to be understood and addressed to make us one people and realize the vision of our founding fathers. We are a multi-cultural nation - understand it, embrace, love it! It's who we are as a nation. Love it, or leave it!
