We need to move toward a color-blind society. The biggest obstacle to that is all the black people who see every thing through a racial lens. Skin color is the be-all and end-all to the people I'm thinking of.
Sure, there are some ignorant white folks like Imus who actually make stupid racist comments. They ought to clean up their act. But the big race problem in this country is in the attitudes held by folks in the black community.
Jesse, Al -- take note: you're the problem, not the solution.
Sounds like Al has drawn his line in the sand.
We will never be color-blind. We must strive toward being blind to color.
I’ve read all the posts and I agree most with CCG.
And the reference to Chris Rock wasn’t lost on me, either. Who does complain when the ‘honkey cracker’ jokes come out?
I think Roker was on the right track, but he should’ve emphasized the avoidance of crassness and not just racial epithets.
I have said this time and again “ The first person that screams racism is usually the racist”
