The problem with the racism debate is that presumes to tell people how they should think

While there are certainly some vocal forces who are trying to force people to change their thoughts, the bulk of what I've seen from anti-racist rhetoric is in getting people to monitor how they speak and act. In my opinion, feel free to think that blacks make better runners, whites were made by God to dominate the globe, or that latinos are lazy and deserve poverty... but be willing to take responsibility for saying any of those things out loud, or acting as if they're true.

Going back to the Don Imus flap, I disagreed with the forces that pressured Imus's company into firing him, but on the same measure, he said things he simply shouldn't have said, and shame on him for having said them.
