I wrote a piece in my journal called, "I'm a racist", even though I'm as liberal and accepting as humans can be. Yet, I wanted to explore how in my life I say I'm accepting, yet my behaviors uncover hidden unconscious racism. I want to face the fact that I grew up in a city of about 20,000 people and there was only 1 black person in my school of 2,000. I grew up seeing black people not as role models and sexy people who could give me my romantic dreams come true. White people were reserved for these dreams as I grew up, and yet people think I didn’t internalize these horribly narrow visions of life? So, I wanted to bring these beliefs to my surface to see if I could remove and transform my internal racist beliefs I unknowingly internalized. In SF, I've read that the African American population went from somewhere around 36% down to 6% in the past three years. This atrocity is not talked about, and when I bring it to people's attention they say I must be wrong for they see African American people all around, but I don't what they say they see. Rather, I see in the Castro for every thousand non-black people I see five or six black people. This is enough to convince people that there is equality in our streets and in our private lives, but it's just not true. The truth is that we have a very desperate black/white society even today, even and especially in the Castro in SF. So, thank you for speaking out to the Advocate. Thank you Billy.

Seeing that cover was like a punch in the stomach. And what's with "The Last Great Civil Rights Struggle"? Who came up with that crap? Thanks for this, Billy.
