Two months ago, President Obama declared again, that the War on
Terror is over. As if the side under attack can simply decide that
the hostilities are ended just because they are tired of defending
themselves. Of course for those of us who live in the real world,
which is populated not only by Obama’s liberal base, but also by
hordes of blood-thirsty Islamists bent on killing us all, we know
that war will only end when both sides agree to some kind of
peace.
But there’s one conflict that will truly never end, or more precisely, will never be allowed to end: the perceived war of American racism. In this conflict even though, for all intents and purposes, a kind of peace was reached years ago through constitutional amendments and numerous legislative acts, the battle rages in the hearts and minds of too many Americans. And although innate prejudices cannot be legislated away, I think it’s safe to say that the hopes and dreams of the civil rights pioneers of the 1950s and 1960s have been met and some would say, wildly surpassed. But there are others whose thirst for revenge and reparation will never be satisfied:
