It's time to stop talking about race

Larry King recently stated that "black is in". Apparently, Mr. King is making it clear the battle against racism hasn't come to an end. American citizens need to be discussing ideas. Unfortunately, with the whirlwind of this past election season and present politics, race is still intertwined with social and political issues. It's about time we judge people based upon their values and ideas they bring to the table, not by their racial popularity status.
