I've been thinking about racism lately

I've been preoccupied lately with the tragedies surrounding hurricane Katrina. In keeping with the themes of my recent (and not-so-recent) posts I could spend blogging time talking about the Christian response to Katrina. There's been both good and bad responses from Christians but that really hasn't been on my mind much. Instead I've been thinking a lot about racism.

I have several things I need to sort out in my head about racism. I intend to do the majority of that here so you can look forward to a couple semi-incoherent, rambling posts on the subject in the next week or two.
