Racial hormony does not come from, rejecting your own ethinicity. It comes from first acknowledging your own eithinicity and race, as well as others around you. Its not about taking pride, or looking down on others. Its about acknowledging the differences.** Before 1960's it was hard for media in USA, to talk about race. It changed, and good things followed.**
You are suggesting as if it was media who started talking about black/white races and suddenly things changed.
