I think these race relation commissions are a waste of time and nothing more than a feel good measure. Any person of any race on such a commission can't say what they really feel if they're against something like affirmative action.
Just look at some of the responses in this thread that imply that I am a racist. That kind of attitude makes a lot of people shy away from speaking their mind for fear of being incorrectly labeled as a racist. When someone calls you a racist, what can you say? "I have a lot of black friends?" That line always goes over real well.
We have to eventually face facts as a nation if we want workable solutions. The biggest thing holding a lot of black people down is themselves. Some aspects of popular black culture are detrimental to success in the United States, unless you consider success to mean selling the most drugs and having killed the most rival gang members. White people can't change this culture.
