So we are a nation of cowards...

Attorney General Eric Holder says we are a nation of cowards when it comes to racial discussion. He was basically saying we are afraid to discuss sensitive racial issues. This is a bunch of b as in "B" s as in "S." If a white person says something a black person does not like about race, the whole conversation degenerates into name-calling. The white person is branded a racist and that is used as an excuse not to listen to anything that person ever has to say again. Then, Jessie Jackson makes rhymes and Al Sharpton yells and screams, and the whole thing devolves into a name-calling and yelling match and no progress ever gets made. I do not blame people for not wanting a conversation to degenerate into schoolyard name calling. Conversations on race usually become so juvenile, why would you want to waste your time having them?

I would submit that people are not afraid to have a racial conversation, they just know where it will lead, so they tip toe around it. We have to walk on eggshells so we do not get called a racist. Give it a rest. If we are ever going to have a serious racial conversation in this country, this automatic, reactionary labeling of "racist" is going to have to stop. Try talking about the facts instead of downplaying everyone else's points by calling them names.
