Eracism?

I'm down with Erace and their efforts to improve racial relations through community meetings, but even they list the thousands of bumper stickers they've handed out as the #1 thing they've done--not the meetings. As if the bumper stickers do anything but let white people make it seem like they're not racist. I hate when people are self-congratulatory about things they're not doing(like being racist). Everyone is racist. There are degrees, but don't tell me you've never treated a person differently because of the color of their skin. The bumper stickers aren't changing anything. The meetings are. But, how many people who have stickers have actually gone to a meeting? I'm sure it's more of a hassle than puttng a sticker on your car.
