"[S]omething to aim for: an America where race isn't off-limits or restricted to certain times of the year but always part of our dialogue."

"The more we can talk about race in a substantive context, the more comfortably we can talk about race, period. Indeed, by regularly engaging with race, and on matters of policy especially, we can train ourselves to move beyond the typical arguments -- 'This is racist! No it isn't!' -- and toward a more nuanced discussion of racial issues."

All right, then! Let's get started: Talk about race all the time!
