It seems Senator Obama has a reasonable position on affirmative action that is causing many in his camp to fear the implications of moving beyond raced based preferences. It is distressing that so many well educated African Americans and Americans in general are so emotionally wedded to ideas that they can't or won't view the issue in a sober way. We need to discuss the historical trends, the progress, and the future for all Americans. To my delight, Obama seems to be leading a more complete discussion that other black leaders, and he should continue.
