text: (cont)  However, I think I do "understand" it and, quite likely, had I been Black and been treated badly because of it, I would have some of that "Black racism" myself.....As I say, life is not (pardon the irony) all "black and white."  I also try to understand the nastiness of someone like GBA and wonder, "geez, what happened to this guy to make him so angry and nasty?"  
  
  I taught/counseled 28 years with dysfunctional adolescents....so I always wonder "just why" folks are who they are....
  
  Hope this makes sense.   regards, Gary Crum
