For a
brief moment last week it looked as if the arrest of an African-American
university professor by a white policeman was about to become a major racial
incident. When the first African-American President of the United States
criticized the policeman at a White House news conference, the incident took on
a national dimension. Instead, the situation became another lesson in how far America has
progressed on the issue of race; and it reminded us how powerful a weapon
suggesting someone is racist is.
