Now that we are some weeks past South Carolina's primary, in hindsight the whole race-baiting thing seemed to parallel what happened to Michael Richards when he used the N-word at a Los Angeles comedy club against some patrons of color, hoping to rally the majority white crowd behind him. Didn't work in LA and sure didn't work in South Carolina.
Can we say that America has turned a corner on the race issue, that we have finally come to the point where neither whites nor blacks can stand the N-word and race-baiting?
For a long time we've heard whites saying they are not racist. Well, I think for a lot of us in the Redwood Forest it's time to sit down and have a few helpings of humble pie.
