before the media will talk about race in America?

They will twist and turn to obscure the clear racist tendencies of the right wing, but jump like happy dogs at "scandals" such as this.

1. The media does talk about race. Obama keeps losing the White vote.
I hear it continuously. Now they'll say he's going to lose the Black and White vote since he's racist against both from two different camps. CNN and MSNBC running on Van Jones and Shirley Sherrod, while and saying he hates white people.

3. There's really nothing to talk about. It is what it is...
there are some whites who don't like blacks and vice versa, all the talking in the world will not get people to change their minds one way or the other. Some hate this president because he's black, some love this president solely because he's black. This will never change, so we have to work around it.

4. Given that the W.H. isn't talking about the incident -
I would say this is not about race.

Its about a girl and they don't have anything to say about sexism.
