Mr. Charlie Rose. Your informative, educational program is outstanding. I have been following it since I can remember. Please continue the great task before you and when you get a chance dedicate a short segment to those of us former long term resident aliens with plenty of family ties in the U.S. who served in the military and yet were deported and excluded from the U.S for one drug offense. My wife and I raised four productive educated U.S. citizens who are committed to the birth of a new nation.

Though I sense she is a bit of an apologist on race, I like Ms. Ifill. I think she is a welcome pillar in the pantheon of Black intellectuals. It should be obvious that we do need to discuss issues of race without confrontation, but each of us has to accept the responsibility of the reality of race in America. That means accepting responsibility when it is rightfully yours to shoulder, be you Black or White, individually or as a race.
While I understand, intellectually, her idea of discussing race without "blame or grievance," without speaking candidly and honestly on the issues, what then are we discussing? Unless we dig into the ground and pull issues of race up by the root (by accepting or imparting blame, by making or denying a grievance) do we actually think the nation can be healed?
Ms. Ifill in many instances sounded like a politician and expressed ideas that seemed politically expedient. She was thoughtful as well as clever.
