Thanks very much for highlighting my posts. I should also stress that race unity is a very different concept from "tolerance." You tolerate people you don't really like or who are very different from you. The approach is "don't bother me, I won't bother you." Unity means we come together, despite diferences, even though differences make unity harder. Race unity is far more of a challenge than tolerance, which for the most part we already have.
