Focusing on the Important Stuff

Skin color isn't really important. It shouldn't be, at least. The Washington Post's Eugene Robinson, a guy who isn't blind to the realities of race in America, notes with pleasure the lack of racial discussion when it comes to our president and other leaders in our current government. That's how it should be, of course, but I've also been very impressed. With the exception of the occasional radio yahoo (including, unfortunately, a racist Rush Limbaugh), both pro and con discussion hasn't been remotely about race. Yay!
