A Real Conversation About Race

America’s long national nightmare is drawing to a close. Soon-to-be retired U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder got his tenure off to a fine start by calling the country he served “a nation of cowards.” America’s cowardice, as he saw it, had to do with its reluctance to have an honest conversation on race. The problem is that it’s his side of the aisle that refuses to have the honest conversation. What liberals consider an honest conversation bears no resemblance to a conversation as others know it. What they want to do is lecture us relentlessly without ever listening to a dissenting view. The left wishes to blame everything on “white privilege.” Yes, there is such a thing as white privilege. But it’s not the greatest handicap that black children face. The greatest hurdles that blacks have to overcome are their own dysfunctional culture and the myth peddled by Democrats that blacks are so hopelessly handicapped by this white privilege that they can only functon with the helping hand of government/ Michael Costello , Lewiston Tribune.
