The Clinton administration's mantra was, "It's the Economy, Stupid." In this (pretend like we're) color-blind society where the problem is "anything but race," I say we gotta confront the problem of race straight on, and work on REALLY understanding how we got where we got, and where we want to go from here, and how to get there together.

Population is 67% African-American. The town police force has 3 blacks (5.7%) and 48 whites among 53 cops. "Race relations is a top priority for us" says Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson.
