I think you understand what it means if you think about being a black person in Clarksdale, Miss. I grew up there and had to leave becuase of the second-class citizenship blacks have there. I believe that just to understand it exists is the best we can hope for. The next time a conversation comes up about minorities getting extra privileges such as hiring preferences, etc., remember all of the years in Clarksdale when they were denied an equal footing in anything.
