    Hello Rosie:

    Noooo...  If we TALK about racism, we make more RACISM.  Better be quiet about it, then it'll go away..

    And why are you picking on elephants? They're such gentle and noble creatures.

    I vote for talking about it. Not talking about it seems to only make the elephant bigger and angrier, and I don't think it ever just magically disappears. If you actually deal with issues, resolution can be reached, to some extent, at least.
