what Dean thinks is the final frontier for race relations in the US?

In his conference call over the summer, he said that civil rights LAW has gone almost as far as it can. The thing we need to do is address UNCONSCIOUS HIRING PREFERENCES FOR PEOPLE LIKE US.

He's saying we have to change our UNCONSCIOUS FEELINGS!!!

And he's either just talking to white people, or (more likely) he's telling blacks and women to watch out because you're just as guilty of doing this as white men (judging from his anecdote).

Basically, he's asking you to do nothing. If you don't feel like you're unconsciously biased (and who doesnt'? -- if you're not thinking about it, how'd you know you're doing it!) he's asking you not to do anything.

You don't hear talk this lame from Republicans. At least Republicans have the courage to tell you to your face that they don't care about race.
