Surely, host, you have noted that it is not conservatives here who are arguing about present race relations and ongoing socio-economic factors and the relevance of their relation to the past?
I'm not ready to stop talking about this issue, but I think I'm going to dwell on it and start a new thread. I can't seem to shake the disturbing sense that the chronic loss of attention span in this country has caused its people - young, old, liberal, conservative, rich, poor - to conveniently minimize its role in its own history.
