A little more fine tuning here...I assumed what she meant by "I don't
know what you're talking about" was reference to her not having to
personally deal with racial prejudice in her environment, not that she
didn't know it existed elsewhere. I can easily identify with that
because of where I lived, but I can understand that some folks would
find that hard to believe. The Midwest is unique. <G>
