"The way to challenge racism is to call the racists out"

^^^
CB: True. But beyond a certain point,  this has to be done mainly by
White people.  Black people ( like Rev. Wright) have been calling out
racists forever. But that doesn't work beyond a certain point.  White
people are the one's who must change their conduct, in the main, to end
racism. They are not going to listen to the protests of Black people to
do that. They have to be persuaded by other White people.

Take the current situation.  How many White people are going to listen
to the outrage of Rev. Wright ? They use his anger as an excuse to
ignore him.   It is when whites fight racism that real progress is made.
The role of Blacks has to be more in the manner of Obama or Martin
Luther King - extending a hand in friendship, figuratively speaking.
