Secret, you say we should discuss race and the problems instead of ignoring it. Race has been talked about since the day I was born. It had been talked about for 20 years before I was born when everyone received equal protection under the law thanks to MLK and others.
What do you plan to do about it other than talk? Talking about it has done nothing, lets actually treat everyone as equal and stop pointing out race every 30sec. THAT is how we are trying to deal with it. It sucked, it's in the past, while little bits of racism exist deal with it. Deal with it in the same way some atheists will never like a devout Christian and vice versa. Deal with it in the same way some of the poor will always resent the rich, and vice versa.

People with views like Rev. Wright can't be tucked away into a corner and ignored.

I'm dealing with Wright in the same way I deal with WTC Conspiracy Theorists (come to think of it, those who believe HIV/crack was government too). Talk to them, try to show them the light. If they don't see the light (they never do), then I'll classify them as loony in my head and ignore them.
You say I can't ignore them, I say I will.
