Does one have to have cancer in order to see issues associated with the illness? Or by seeing the suffering in others gain an understanding of the pain and suffering. I would think an caring intelligent open minded person would and could have a feeling for, not a complete one, yet one still the same.

You and I are in complete agreement on the facet you mention. Sadly, it seems that the race of the speaker matters if they are talking about the situation another "race" finds itself in and the listener does not like what they are saying. Sometimes they can even be of the same race and if the listener doesn't like what they are saying they just call them an Uncle Tom.
