It was a great experience to spread the game of lacrosse through teaching and to see others who truly are excited by the game. The Japanese absorbed all they could and had a great spirit (as you could hear from the side lines). After the clinic we had a small dance break. The team came together to work on a skit that demonstrated some American dancing.

By taking a break from race we gave simple human interaction a chance to work. But the sidelining of race has also been calamitous. Regardless of the progress made in racial attitudes the existence of the black underclass is an ongoing scandal. More than 50 years after Brown v. Board of Education ended de jure racial segregation in this country poor urban blacks continue to be a group apart plagued by disproportionately high rates of crime incarceration drug use and poor health… The white reaction to Barack Obama shows that the old I’m guilty you’re innocent everyone-bow-and-return-to-their-corner two-step is no longer useful. Obama’s race is still a factor of course but it is far less of one than anyone could have imagined even 10 years ago. Many whites are not just ready but eager to embrace a. Yet the crisis of the black underclass rages on and America seems less interested than ever in tackling it. And until that crisis is addressed it will continue to cast a shadow over all black-white relations.
