“One post, by Stephan Tawney on the American Pundit blog, said that “our attorney general is black, both major parties are led by black men, the president is black.”

“And yet,” Tawney wrote, “we’re apparently a ‘nation of cowards’ on race.”

Obama was asked whether he agreed with Holder. He hesitated for five seconds before responding.

“I’m not somebody who believes that constantly talking about race somehow solves racial tensions,” Obama said. “I think what solves racial tensions is fixing the economy, putting people to work, making sure that people have health care, ensuring that every kid is learning out there. I think if we do that, then we’ll probably have more fruitful conversations.”

That’s from  the International Herald Tribune.

Comment:

Nice to hear that President Obama agrees with the Mind-Body Politic.

But then again, we have a strange and well-documented way of being a wee bit ahead on a few things (check out the tab ‘articles’). And on that note of unbecoming self-satisfaction, I will return to my labors tweaking this blog.
