Joe, thanks for the de-simplification of bigotry.

I differ with you,, in what you see as needed as the next step.
I don't think we need a debate, we need a discussion.

Debating implies a battle for superiority by virtue of winning the debate. It puts people into opposition to one antoher.

Discussion implies bringing all opinons into play to create a broad field of understnding each other, and leading from that, understanding bigotry for what it is. . If discussions are conducted in a non-confrontational, fact-finding way, a commonality in our human experience is much more likely to emerge.

[...] emilyes wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt And there’s real reason to be afraid… NPR last night spoke with Kevin Merida about his piece in the Washington Post on racist incidents on the campaign trail. This is some of what was said: Mr. JEAN MORRIS(ph): Don’t want Obama in there. I don’t like his background. They’re putting the man in because of his race, and I don’t – I’m not ready for that. Ms. JOETTA KUHN(ph): Mr. Obama doesn’t have much of a chance here because they will not vote for a black man in West Virginia, and they can’t s [...]
