He mentions we need to do something about racism in this country. That's what he means by "IT."
Uh, maybe, we can smear all the red states as being racist because they vote Republican? That will fix the problem.
This guy Hughley would make a great replacement for Rather, though he's a bit conservative in comparison.
A lot of people already smear red states for being racists since republicans by default are racist. Anyone would be better than Rather, and I think the show's ratings would be better.
