A race conversation? What are you talking about?

Los Angeles Times ^ | March 25, 2008 | Jonah Goldberg

[RightWhale]

This is racist.

[marron]

Actually, what this country needs to do is finally, for once and for all, after all these years, to stop talking about race.

Just stop it.

Try this concept out for size: “color-blind citizenship”.

[Jeff Chandler]

Typical.

[rock_lobsta]

How can there be a rational conversation when the only acceptable answer is "Complete Caucasian Capitulation"? _{(Nice alliteration, eh?)}

[Mark]

LA Times still in business? I did not know that.

[goldstategop]

The Left needs the Race Card. After all without it, it couldn't play off people against each other in its quest to secure and maintain itself in power.

Read the whole thing.

Another Goldberg home run.

Ah, I see the time honored tradition here on FR of posters commenting on and ripping apart an article without actually reading the thing is alive and well. At least on this thread.

yep....somewhere a rock is lower in elevation

The only people I see pushing for a “conversation on race” are guilt-ridden white liberals over 40 and black folks who want to use the occassion to bash whites. Thankfully, Asians and Hispanics (both of whom now outnumber blacks in my immediate area) don’t seem to care about the “conversation.”

Goldberg slams this one out of the park and on to the street. How could any sane person claim that no one has been talking about race in this country until Obama “opened the door”? It is absolute madness.

[Freedom2specul8]

They need to dialogue this.

Oops, I am here by mistake.
I thought this was a NASCAR thread.
Sorry, my bad.

[Spok]

“Another Goldberg home run.”

An honest man simply telling us, again, that the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes.

Having Obama preach to us about racism is like having David Duke preach about race relations. I don't need to be preached at by any racist no matter if he's black white or something in between.

[Jack Wilson]

What Obama wants is a monologue along the lines of “The Great Society didn’t work - now expand it”

Well, if any of us white folk actually try to start an honest dialogue about race, that’s what we’ll be called. I’m going to sit that conversation out, thank you.
