Great article Thomas, as usual. There is another excellent book out on the same subject: "No Matter What.....They'll Call This Book Racist - how our fear of talking honestly about race hurts us all." by Harry Stein. Very well written. I highly recommend it. Also, you might like this, an alternative to the race card.
