Once again we are treated to one more example of Samantha seeing what
she believes and not the reverse. I did NOT say 'you can't be cured of
racism', I said "You can't be cured of race", i.e. you can't be cured
of your skin color or other genetic heritage, assuming such are things
you need to be cured of.
I hope that Samantha realizes her mistake and stops jumping to contusions.
