Speaking of different discussions...
Can you please explain to me how that ad was racist? Well, you said "racial..." I'd still question that. I wonder how many extra voters turned up just at the inference that Ford might be into white chicks.
The casual if not downright reckless ways in which we invoke and provoke the racial tension pandemic in this country is the root cause of why America's not yet ready for a Black President. So soon after Kramer's flip out and the Police messes in NY and Atlanta, I'm just about fed up with hearing about race issues altogether.
Racism won't be behind us until it's no longer the first thing to pop into a black person's head whenever things don't go his or her way. I'm not sure there's anything more white folks could possibly do to make that happen. Unfortunately, all of MLKjr's work was left in the hands of those with the same "War on _____" mentality that has assured our country will forever remain picking at the scab.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
