If it only were a genuine dialogue. The problem with race in America is not that we are not talking enough about race, but rather that real communication is circumvented by personal attacks. There are some issues that seem settled to virtually everyone. No one should be discriminated against on the basis of race in public accommodation, or for a job, or at a restaurant, or any of the normal public interactions between people. Most would hope that even in private interactions race would be irrelevant.
Every serious person wants anti-discrimination laws vigorously enforced.
This does not mean that bigotry and racism do not exist, just that no intellectually serious person advocates them. The one real public policy question specifically related to race is whether the government ought to grant preferential treatment on the basis of skin color. Unfortunately, affirmative action has become the short hand for preferential treatment on the basis of race. The wording is modeled after the 1964 Civil Rights Act. There are honorable and well- intentioned people on both sides of the issue.
