Eric Holder, the new Attorney General declared that the United States was a "nation of cowards" when it came to discussing issues of race and that "we, as Americans, simply do not talk with each other enough about race."
Mr. Holders, I am not sure where you've been; for the last 15 years universities, public schools, corporations and the federal government have been obsessed with "celebrating diversity."
But, more importantly, I am certain that your discussion would resemble a dialogue with a ventriloquist dummy. The conclusions would be predetermined and no one would dare challenge "progressive" mantras on race and racism. It would be a one sided exchange of grievances; certainly critics of affirmative action and racially based economic redistribution, like Dr. Thomas Sowell, would not be invited to participate. Dialogues with dummies never lead to greater understanding; they leave unresolved issues and painful splinters.
