[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 839252, member: 1246"] Excerpt from an interview with Adam Corolla....... [B]Switching gears, you’ve said before you don’t believe, contrary to popular opinion, that America is a racist country. [/B] [B]Carolla: [/B]Well, it’s never going to be an issue that goes away as long as there are people who don’t want it to go away. So as long as there’s a group of folks that profit from it or believe to gain power and popularity from it or damage other people by calling them a racist, it’s never going to go away. We can have people say this is a racist nation, but we have a black president – the most powerful person. The richest person on television, Oprah, is a black woman, the second most powerful star on television or in the media is probably Will Smith, and he is a black man. The richest athlete on the planet, at least pre-divorce, is a black man – Tiger Woods. And the highest paid singer is Beyonce. At what point do we get to stop calling ourselves a racist nation?
