Regardless of your color, it is imperative to understand that the only “race” that matters is the human race — and that definition No. 3 must be everyone’s personal definition.

Race, folks, does not matter. Even the courts say so.

People matter. They are all precious in his sight. Any questions?

So name your group “People Matter,” and I’ll show up at your next meeting — at least long enough to see if you really mean it.

We can understand why some of today’s black citizens remember and react when they think they see vestiges of the old bigotry, but Clark has the most profound point of all: So long as any of us cling to divisive attitudes defined by ethnicity, our problems of assimilation will remain unsolved.

Clark has a legitimate example with Race Matters, Friends, but it won’t be fair to identify particular groups on either side as bearing the primary responsibility for reforming attitudes. Ideally, in some imaginary never-never time, all of us might come to believe race does not matter.
