Bump.
This country has some major problems.
Racism isn’t one of them. Our society is onw of the single most accepting of all races, on earth.
We need to bring back American jobs.
Stop exporting American jobs. Now.
A lot of us did stop caring about skin color, til our current racist-in-chief and his attorney general began making color an issue.
Racism is LESS prevalent than 50 years ago but it does distract from what is really important: White House scandals!
I never did care about skin color.
I don’t care about black people anymore though.
To paraphrase Bronstein: You may not care about race, but race cares about you.
Discrimination based on behavior is mandatory.
Wow. Someone didn't get the memo. RATS are pimping the race card more than ever.
Actually, the divorce rate peaked in 1981 and has been generally going down since. We are back to about where we were in 1970.
Unfortunately, this is mostly due to fewer people getting married.

I'm sorry but it is a lie and misnomer that 'race' is just skin color. Now if he is advocating that race shouldn't be the sole criteria or reason to treat/judge/react to someone I am with him there but race is not just skin color and it is dangerous to insist that it is so.
that while racism still rears its ugly head from time to time, America has made significant progress in the half century since Dr. King’s incredible speech.
In what way specifically do you allude? 'Racism' from whom? Do you mean whites have been browbeat to not see 'skin color'? We have more non white race groups then ever. Political, lobbying, social, academic and otherwise for this non existent skin color. Except of course white specific groups. Meanwhile we have an anti-white Marxist SOB in the white house and as AG.
On the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech in August 1963, many are asking the question: ***Are we in a better place today when it comes to race relations?***
Who is president TWICE?.
Whining gets old real face check your race card in your own house.
I read some of what was said in the speeches and I thought that rather than talking about thinking positive and what we can do to better ourselves they mostly talked about the dark past and hate. You can’t be positive and do good things if you live in the past and think negatively. Think Germany of the late 20’s and 30’s of their hate from WWI, it wound up consuming them.
Not to mention what really is the point of this piece? To further disarm whites until they completely capitulate to the destruction of us and the nation that our forefathers built?
If you want to have a true national dialogue on race and see where chips really fall then lets do it. But if what you are really advocating is more of the same from the last 50 years? No thanks.
This isn’t about skin color, it’s about ideology.
Not when you can make a lucrative career out of it.
If the Rhyming Reverends would begin preaching accountability in their own communities (chastity, hard-work, and Christ's expectations that we will follow God and want to be better than we are) instead of doing nothing but blaming others for bad behavior, perhaps race concerns would disappear. Gandhi (and MLK Jr., actually) espoused that the way to make the oppressor change is to be outstanding, smart, empathetic, and good to others. You make your people so impressive that others have to recognize your humanity, and grant that to you. However, today's Excusologists in the "community organizer community" do nothing more than make genuinely color-blind people like me say "there you go again", and begin to expect the worse from some groups.
Mssrs Jackson and Sharpton...you don't give a crap about MLK or what he stood for, because you refuse to listen to his pleading spirit. Like W.E.B. DuBois noted, there are some who keep the black man down because they find it more profitable. Fifty years ago, sadly, it was mostly white men (a lot of them Democrats.) Today, it is nobody but YOU.
Agreed. How about a timeout for a while?
How about we stop adventuring around the world, "solving" its problems and telling others how to live and what to do and get back to being ourselves and clean up our own house and our act?
Let's do it for the children...and for ourselves!
Excellent article.
Thanks Gov. Jindal!
Bobby Jindal bump.
I like this guy.
It’s not color, Bobby, it’s BEHAVIOR.
