Race Talk

Finally, two pundits attack the MSM for feeding ridiculous racial opinions that harden caricatures of demographic groups, like old folk, crackers, and Louis Farrakhan Muslims. But then, John McWhorter hypothesizes about a balkanized cultural politics, where groups based around race are comfortable with their exclusion criteria. Politically, this assumes that the current political party structure is fixed, and that the Dems will retain their multicultural platform, and the GOP its white-blind small business cum social conservative big tent. Culturally and economically, different groups might co-exist, but politically, party realignment could shift coalitions. More than group prejudice, Americans need to grow beyond their subservience to non-constitutional political parties.

Is That What Obama Really Meant?

Along with yesterday's bhTV diavlog between Bob Wright and Mickey Kaus——here's an excellent discussion. Period.

I neglected to add yesterday—admittedly I have a personal reason to care, but that's not the limit of my angle. There's no hope for Native Americans, Asian-Americans, or Hispanic Americans in America if African-Americans, like Barack Obama, cannot peacefully and constructively mold what "We, the People" means in America. It's more than whites, the 50.1% who bother to vote every election, or the media. It's always changing.
