Toward a more honest discussion of race

The Washington Examiner points out, correctly, that the Federal Government has as a matter of policy instituted racial discrimination even as those who instituted these policies denounced racial discrimination. 

... instead of upholding a colorblind society, the federal government has for decades imposed a multitude of racial preferences throughout the economy, especially in the areas of employment and contracting. For example, Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, found that the Obama administration used race and gender as criteria to decide which auto dealerships would be closed.

We are now a full half century from the 1960s when full integration was the goal.  We have moved a long way, but in the journey,we have taken a bad turn.  Part of it was well intentioned, giving the disenfranchised and those discriminated against a helping hand.  But ... and here's the tragedy, an entire movement sprang up whose revenue and power sources were dependent on forever abrading the scab of racism; never allowing it to heal.  Open and active racism by white against black is now so rare as to be newsworthy.  And it's rare because not only can it get you arrested, but more importantly for most people it can get you shunned.

Unfortunately, that not the case with the racists of the Black community, the Liberals Leftists of the JournoList type, or the mainstream of the Democrat Party.  There has been, until now, no public shaming of the people on this group.  People here make a good living peddling their hate and get re-elected based on their lies.

Until this movement experiences the shunning that white racists experienced after the 1960s, we can expect the honest discussion of race to be postponed.
