I dont understand why you think we caint talk about race now. When I was waiting for a transplant in U of FL Shands hospital I kept a constant dialog going between the races about clintooon. Not once in the two years before or as of yesterday did it become a shouting match. I went for and examine yesterday and the lady stopped me in the hall and asked me if I was still as opinionated as before. We had a good laugh. I also converted 7 black nurses to vote for Jeb Bush for Gov in 98.
Its not my opinion but my humble observation that the nation as a whole isnt ready for such a discussion... FIRSTLY we are @ war with Militant Islam, and any mention of the racial issue in these times will only be inflamatory and divisive and therefore service the propaganda mills of the leftists and Islamists. SECONDLY we CANT have a real dialogue because we cant agree on a common set of terms...
You see most black people were educated in Govt schools, watch TV news, listen to neo socialist wannabe revolutionaries stuck in the 60's [1860's LOL]... hence we are talking about almost two different languages and world views (its the ZIETSGEIST lol) Most of the time, many cant even objectively decode a liberal speech and think TAX CUTS are a plot ro re-institute slavery...
