and Al Sharpton... Eric Holder refused to walk the walk of a serious racial dialogue... Al Sharpton wants to keep the alive so he can have power... What is truth to Power here???
Perhaps it is saying to Al Sharpton that the image that ape = black guy does not apply and that thinking it does is his (al Sharpton's) problem that he has to get over if the race dialogue is to advance... Likewise for all those offended... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123514880910734301.html >>> Consider the paradox: Racial "sensitivity" requires not eradicating >>> racial stereotypes but keeping them alive--and not only keeping them alive >>> but remaining acutely conscious of them at all times. Delonas and his >>> editors are under attack for seeing "chimp" and failing to think "black >>> guy." Perhaps this is an editorial failing, but it is certainly not a moral >>> one. Which brings us back to Eric Holder. If Americans are shy about discussing race, a big reason is the culture of intimidation promoted by people like Al Sharpton in the name of racial sensitivity. "Frank discussion" requires a willingness to trust that one's interlocutor is acting in good faith. If Attorney General Holder is serious about promoting racial candor, let him use this incident to make the point. That would show a bit of courage on his part. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
