For race remains a divisive issue in a nation founded on a premise that has struggled mightily in practice — the self-evident truth that all men are created equal.

Only for the Race baiting industry controlled by the likes Al Gore, Al Sharpton, The Black president and His Black wife, Jesse Jackson, NAACP, Black Caucus, Democrats and Sen. Brownbach. The rest of us have grown.
