When are we as a country going to get past this issue?

Something is up. Emmett Till is exhumed and autopsied. There's a 1964 Civil Rights murder trial starting up. I believe there is a bill to outlaw/apologize for lynchings in South Carolina(?) that NPR was talking about this morning.

There are forces at work really, really pushing the whole "this country has a race problem" button. Maybe I'm missing the catalyst, but it seems odd to me.

If I had to speculate, I'd say that the Democrats are losing black voters and are desperately trying to get the message out that America hates blacks and that blacks would be safest if they stayed on the plantation.

I'd say that is excellent speculation. Do the Democrats ever have a new idea?

Astute observation. I hadn't thought of that.

Not odd at all when you consider that racism is an industry that empowers the likes of the ACLU, Rainbow Coalition, Al Sharpton and his gang, on the private sector level and hundreds of thousands if not millions on the on the Federal, State and Local levels of government through Affirmative action, EEOC, and the basic political correctness that has infected all levels of bureaucracy. Then there's the money to be made in racial lawsuits, thank-you ACLU. It's even infiltrated the school systems where "diversity training" is mandatory.

And at the local level, how many black politicians,(city council types) run on a platform of supporting such groups?--Almost all of them. And those who scorn such groups or talk about self reliance are shunned and called "uncle and aunt Toms".

There is HUGE MONEY and POWER in "opposing" RACISM, thus the emphasis on keeping it stirred up. So long as it's front page news these groups prosper. Let it die and they lose wealth and power.
