Brock Peters was always cool for me and in the writeup in the Washington Post there was this line:"In a 1985 story by The Associated Press on blacks in the movies, Peters said there had been a string of recent hits involving blacks, but ''I have been here a long time, and I have seen this cycle happen before. I'll wait awhile and see if this flurry of activity leads to anything permanent.''" so my myth of the colorless society remark meant that people (read non people of color) can say there have been changes (and there have) but it still not a colorless society...which can be argued from which side of the fence you may put yourself...and maybe that's what keeps it as a myth––because we still have to seperate ourselves FROM others without seeing ourselves AS others, as equals, as one human race...and music is the BEST way to bring people together so god/jehova/buddha/nameless entity bless Frank Zappa! and "the myth of the colorless society" also was a play on the recent white on white dominant levels and the return of color to the GRID, in the really cool A1 square...
