Jules Crittenden has the best post on Gatesgate, pointing out that the beer summit would have been more believable if the guys were wearing polo shirts and jeans.
Then he relates an actual racial meeting of the minds as a fruit of the summit (well worth reading) and shows how Bush did race relations better.
I know it’s not PC to defend George Bush, but now that I think of it, he probably showed more original thought and action with his faith-based initiative that gave unprecedented support to some of the most active and vocal supporters of self-reliance and social responsibility in black communities, the churches. That and his historic appointment of accomplished black Americans to key positions of influence and power utterly unrelated to race.Photo Credit
