This is an interesting article by Robert Reich (former Secy of Labor). We are lucky in this country that racism among our youth seems to be lessening. But our segregation in where we live may be on the rise. Best lines from this article are "The geo-political divide has become so palpable that being wealthy in America today means not having to come across anyone who isn’t" and "this is how wealthier Americans are quietly writing off the poor." One of the reasons that I voted for Obama was the hope that he might be more sensitive to these issues and be able to do something about it. Detroit would be a terrific place to start. robertreich.org/post/55976062830
