If you want rapprochement between the black community and the white, you can't put all the black folks, or the people who agree with them, under the axles. You can say, as Obama does, "I dont' agree with these beliefs". That's a good thing. But you don't want to make him throw the entire black community under the truck, imo- that's not way to cure this problem. You might as well just paint Obama white, put a wig on him, and call him Hillary. He is special because of the people he has worked with, and they are different, partly because they've been completely ignored by most of America for a good long time. The solution to that ignorance (both the ignorance of some positions in the black community, and the ignorance of the white community about the black community), and their sudden emergence in to mainstream politics, is not to immediately assassinate them all. That just doesn't bode well for future cordial race relations.
One can disavow the harmful messages without killing all the messengers- since those messengers aren't singing that one message 24/7. |
