This article got me to thinking about the all important discourse this country is going through in its efforts to address what might be the last round of racial dominance of white males:

Clearly the classroom was "triggered" as the discussion centered on the very meaning of identity and freedom to act without undue restraint.
In my opinion, the discussion of race has become one which requires people to understand themselves more as a part of a greater, sometimes unaware and unconscious group, in ways that threaten their sense of fairness and equality. We haven't yet found the right language to communicate across this divide for many people although I am sure there is Star Trek episode or animated motion picture or two that addresses this.
