West rightly pointed out that “ . . . the stability of our social order and the health of our culture depend upon how candid we are in our reflections about race . . . There is a deep hunger across the country for . . . discourse about race. . . .” Unfortunately, the hunger for discourse does not include a willingness to listen to all points of view. Powledge claimed that this stifling of candid expression is an example of progress, but he is wrong. The problems can never be solved as long as frank discussion is impossible.
