Dear F,

Your email brings terrible news. http://www.newsweek.com/barcelona-crash-live-updates-van-plows-crowd-famous-las-ramblas-651914

Spain has a long history of rebellious, explosive, separatist activity.

In light of this, it would not be surprising if today's Barcelona "incident" proves to be a terror attack.

But even if it is, I would not be overly concerned.

By my lights, the western world's most destructive terror issue is America's systematic oppression -- and extrajudicial slaughter (coupled with new-and-improved-enslavement) -- of black people, two intertwined scourges that have been the warp-and-weft of American society, but are now -- finally! -- seen for what they are. 

Nor should we lose sight of our treatment of other dark-skinned people: Native Americans, latinos, muslims.

Several years ago, Maria brought Michelle Alexander to my attention. 

I encourage you to check her out.
