All respect and no restraint

He published this in Australia so he wouldn't be laughed at in the USofA

US has moved beyond racist past

IS the US an irredeemably racist society?

You would think the success of Barack Obama's presidential campaign would have answered that question in the negative.

Not if you're smart. Too many 'first Blacks,' too many declarations that one guy's success means we...actually, you white folks...have overcome.

The USofA will graduate from racism, not when some really talented Black person climbs out of the hole (again) but when he doesn't start out in the hole. Until then, Mr. Taranto, back to the waste of oxygen that is the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page with you.
