‘Barack, I Didn’t Do It for This’: An Homage to Andrew Goodman
Oy, this is getting obsessive, but let me add still one more thing.
for those who think Americans are ‘over’ race, i submit that one who does not agree at all is Secretary of State Rice: http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/

“Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said yesterday that the United States still has trouble dealing with race because of a national “birth defect” that denied black Americans the opportunities given to whites at the country’s very founding.’…..she goes on, giving a considered and valuable view that is heartfelt but still ‘politic’ Something like Obama’s approach, even if not so obviously tied to a campaign objective.
We have a substantial way to go, yes, but there are many who are striving to make it possible to more forward. recognizing that we have a problem is not (or does not need to be) defeatist. it can be a great contribution, a necessary step on the way to some resolution.
