At this time, when America's history of racial oppression can not be swept under the rug, I can do little better than to point you to the post made on the Blind Bargains site. One person who commented on that post suggested serious study of the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo. My wife Judi and I will soon begin conducting serious study groups of this book via Zoom. The book is available on Kindle, BARD and BookShare, and the study guide we'll be using is free online. There are sure to be lots of other books, and lots of other approaches to studying this one, but if you might be interested in being part of such a group, drop me a note at: topdot at gmail.com. https://blindbargains.com/bargains.php?m=21973 Sponsor #2: Donna J.
