EVERYBODY in this forum should watch the debate you hosted because I think it accurately presents the current state of race relations in the U.S. The point that really stood out to me is that some Americans believe that we should continue to discriminate on the basis of race to correct for past injustice rather than abandon the principle and treat everybody as individuals.
