Holder calls the nation out on matters of race--Excellent!

I give kudos to the Attorney General for his blunt assessment of race issues in America. We needed calling out on it.

For too long we as a nation have tiptoed around race, when what we need is an open and honest discussion. No group has a claim on being correct on this.

Here's what I know: Every single person has a race issue on some level. Failure to acknowledge that keeps our head in the sand.

Refusal to accept that simple fact will get us nowhere.

The mere fact that all of us suffer from prejudice is what makes us more alike than different.

Racism is inappropriate, but until we openly discuss matters of race without fear of political correctness or fear of labeling then we cannot grow as a nation.

Race is an outdated concept and I think most people are willing to explore the opportunity to move beyond it.
