re: Racial tensions will never go away so long as we are afraid to have honest discussions

honest conversation
This is another phrase that - along with "strength thru diversity" - makes me want to puke.
I have never heard anyone asking for an 'honest conversation' really mean it - what they invariably mean is to have a podium from which they can demean the other person.
There may have been a time when those asking for an 'honest conversation' really meant they wanted to debate a topic, but I do not recall a single instance of that in my long life.

That's a good point. A conversation should involve a give and take, a concession of points on both sides. I don't think anyone is ready to concede, and it will probably be to our detriment.
