Amid all the firestorm over race relations with regard to the white Cambridge policeman versus the black Harvard Professor, there is an obvious fact that is being totally ignored.
At the heart of this entire flap, you have a noted "black" Professor at one of the most prestigious Universities in America. Secondly, you have a "black" President who is the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. Third, also weighing in, is the "black" Governor of the State of Massachusetts. Quite a "powerful" portrait of America.
To use Obama's own words, this too is a "teachable moment"! I would clearly think that this represents much of the "dream" that Martin Luther King once envisioned.
All too often we look at the "bad" in every situation. Encapsulated within this controversy is the "good" that nobody really seems to see.
