'The sooner we get back to understanding that racism is a choice, made by individual moral simpletons who speak and act only for themselves and not their racial group, the sooner we can throw the New Racism on the trash heap of history and get on with the business of judging each other by the content of our characters… not by the color of our skins or the historical failings of our ancestors.'
