Yeah, that was my original question - How does this country heal from this massive wound?

We could dissect the behavior of Paris Hilton and Heidi Montag too, but my thread isn't about specific people or their personal problems. It's about the rampant racism that keeps us all stuck in the moment.

Another example was on Fox News recently when Brett Baier interviewed President Obama. He asked a question then rudely interrupted him 16 times! He didn't even have the decency to allow our Commander in Chief to finish his sentence. We all know he would not have done that with any other president.

I had so much hope back in the 60s when laws were passed in an attempt to prevent hate crimes and educate the public. Why are we all still so ignorant, why do we refuse to see the logic, and why do people insist on pouring salt on this massive wound?
