Have you ever seen a tornado in person? I haven’t, but I have seen enough movies and newsreels to know the kind of destruction they cause. Of all the natural disasters, tornadoes fill me with the most dread. They strike with little warning and are unpredictable. Tornadoes are powerful and frightening. Many of the events of last year made me feel like I was watching a tornado through my front window--part disbelief, part fear, part isolation, part anger, part overwhelm. At the end of ...

It's not a new phenomenon though. It's been around for generations, and it doesn't only exist in the United States of America. It’s seen in every country and in all time periods throughout history. Years ago, I attended a lecture of a sociology professor from Sudan, Abdullahi Gallab, who spoke about the burdens ... Read More about The Real Roots of Racism
