I have a friend I call my other brother Darrel. he has the most magnificent singing voice. after we were friends for about 5 years I realized he was black. I kid you not. It just never entered my mind what color his skin was/is. only when he called himself the white sheep of his family because he only had a B.S. degree while all his siblings had doctorates, I was totally color blind with the man. actions and attitude is what I saw.

the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
