Because it’s my impression that minorities still have a lot of problems with glass ceilings in a lot of the better professions (like working as lawyers at law firms, etc.) and affirmative action is something that’s pulling black people out of lower economic rungs which in turn leads to a color blind society– more people [...]
As a native of the DC-MD suburbs, I need to come to Honest Tea’s specific defense here. The founders of Honest Tea are members of my congregation and started the business in about as American a way as possible, Seth brewing tea out of his kitchen. And he responded specifically to the elitism charge on [...]
to paraphrase something the Joker says to Batman, “The Dark Knight” has rules, and they are the conventions that no movie of this kind can escape.

Assuming that by “we” he means regular folks and not pundits or bloggers, I think we do need to talk more about race.
