My morning commute takes me through downtown Raleigh. One morning this past week, I was sitting a red light and, as two white woman were jogging by, I heard a black man providing these two women his address in the event they wanted to come to his place of residence for the purpose of sexual intercourse. He stressed that the offer was available to one or both of them. I drove off before hearing their reply but I was struck by how far we have come as a country. I am in Raleigh, North Carolina. The American South. Yet, in this age of enlightenment, a black man can loudly, proudly and publicly proposition two white women without fear of physical reprisal. That was not always the case. We still have a long way to go, certainly, but we can always take time to be proud of the progress that has been made.
