A Fair Conversation About Race Must be Had
Posted on Mar. 22, 2008
The America that has developed over the past 300 years has always had race in the mix. America's preoccupation with race is destructive and debilitating. I think any candidate for any office who is not willing to address racial concerns will set him/herself up for problems if you intend to serve a broad base of constituents. This week Barack Obama took a brave step in addressing race. His words say it best. I suggest that we listen and try to understand. Race is a factor in our lives but it does not have to color how we act, live or treat people.
