Well, most things on here are based on assumptions so in reality we should always be waiting for answers, but that isnt fun. I meant to mult-quote, not just yours. :thumb:

My point was it is a political no-no to dig deep into race issues. They are important, but you dont deal with them through the media.

Just gonna guess at his meaning here:

We're just people discussing it. No harm there, and it's actually a healthy discussion here.

However, when you're a public figure, any discussion about race can completely alienate you from one race or the other. So while yes, he can talk about it, maybe he shouldn't. I don't know yet how the American public will respond to this comment, but if it p!sses off a large portion of whites, he may have just cost himself the nomination (and possible presidency).

Nor do I, though there are a bunch of hypersensitive people who will react inappropriately.

Who isn't these days?

With a TV camera, a clever set of questions, and an editing machine, I can make ANYONE seem predjudiced (racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-semetic, you pick it). Which is why I think the topic of race is no-win for any side of any political argument.

In another generation, it won't matter anymore. Like gender and homosexuality, race is becoming a non-issue to our kids. It's passe. They're moving on.

In my opinion, that's progress. Too bad "Progressives" aren't willing to move on as well.

I disagree. The "Big Three" will continue to be issues for our children's children. But I hope your right and I'm wrong.
