OP here- Thanks for grammar check- it was late. Appreciate that there is open and frank discussion about the CA case and racial covenants.

Thanks to all who are sharing family and personal experiences about loss in your ancestral history. It is important that we all acknowledge that pain so we can recognize our shared humanity.

My personal hope is that the US government, states and municipalities will set up a Truth and Reconciliation process around the violent racist and classist nature/history of its colonial past, the nation’s founding and the systemic racism/classism present in current governing laws and policies. The reconciliation part is where is get more complicated than just posting hash tags. I am confident that the wonky brilliance of DMV types will be excellent at navigating the path forward so we don’t keep replicating systems and structures that keep all people from thriving.

It all starts with  honest, respectful and often painful conversation about topics that are difficult  to face for many White people. We also don’t have to agree on everything- just hope we can all have open hearts and minds so we can learn from each other’s pains, joys, aspirations and challenges to start building a better society for everyone together.

Thanks again all- learning a lot about people and cultures from this thread.[/quote]
