My hope is that future generations will look back at this period in history as being pretty primitive and not the beginning of the end. Other civilizations have come and gone and ours can too.

I agree and have always agreed that dialogue is needed quickly.
But dialogue assumes that it is a two way conversation. Read some of the posts on here on this thread at this minor level. If you say how "we were brought up" you are called on it and that guilt trip begins which tells you not to say that...it is bad.
If you hear racial profiling...hey, why can we not talk about that and how the police use it to PROTECT EVERYONE ?
You see,there will be NO dialogue, simply speeches, when any incident between black and white is seen through the color of the skin.
The two incidents in question, in NYC and in Ferguson, had predictable endings and whether the skin color was black or white would not have altered
the endings. We have leaders who see it all through the prism of skin color and thus there will be no dialogue.....just protestation and consistent and ongoing laying of guilt on others.
That guilt that is transmitted is power to many.
