Berkeley physics prof: Gore "exaggerates"
Shelby Steele on Why the GOP can't win with minorities. One quote:
...American minorities of color -- especially blacks -- are often born into grievance-focused identities. The idea of grievance will seem to define them in some eternal way, and it will link them atavistically to a community of loved ones. To separate from grievance -- to say simply that one is no longer racially aggrieved -- will surely feel like an act of betrayal that threatens to cut one off from community, family and history. So, paradoxically, a certain chauvinism develops around one's sense of grievance. Today the feeling of being aggrieved by American bigotry is far more a matter of identity than of actual aggrievement.

Our favorites are antique Caucasians, but they are expensive, even now. We are also adding the newly-crowned Ross Douthat's site to our blogroll (even though we do not know how to pronounce his name).
