George W. Bush
Every time I read or hear someone talk about the great leaps forward made in race relations, I scratch my head.
It doesn’t take long for me to get a reminder that most folks still instinctively judge others by the color of their skin or the sound of their voice.
What makes this most frustrating is that many times the people displaying the ignorance and insensitivity have been cast as intelligent, upstanding, decent people, and they often achieve high levels of authority.
It’s time to ponder the most memorable moments of President George W. Bush’s two terms.
He offers plenty to chew on. I land on the shoe-tossing incident in Baghdad for my most memorable. I watched over and over the newscast replays of journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi flinging two shoes at the president.
