Still following symbols and signs and acts of unitedness in the country and signs of americanness. Whether it was baseball games you were watching. What i did on the First Anniversary of 9 11 was go out to mount vernon where George Washington lived and appreciated the beauty and peace of the place. I think everybody in america looked for signs and symbols of togetherness. Chris andrea, i remember being at Yankee Stadium back then with Rudy Giuliani and everybody back then just rooting for the yankees. You wad had to do that that year. It was an amazing feeling, a feeling of we were in this together but at the same time there were warning signs that many people overlooked and that was the lack of questioning authority, not looking deeply enough about accepting the verities of the government as part of its rush to war. I think we all felt vulnerable still and i think there was thi

Background be irrelevant . I dont know that it actually should be irrelevant. We always talk about race as if it is this awful, toxic thing. Race and racism are very different. So racial background can be a part of who they are without being necessarily an impedestrianiment. I think we are seeing in this moment a redefinition of the race. For a long time when we thought about race it was a binary issue, black america and white america. Now it is all kinds of things, multihued, multiethnic and racial identities ever always shifting. So when a kid grows up ats more likely that race will be an important part of their portfolio, background but not necessarily the thing that will hold them back. Thats much more to do with class. Chris you know, growing up in philadelphia and being an africanamerican kid and going to Independence Hall and having your teacher take you, coming out of that, it is a plaque president. That is what led us to a truly post racial or at least part of the way there. I

State of the union with Candy Crowley is up next. What in the world is going on . Today an israeli airstrike deep into syria, a suicide bomber of the u. S. Embassy in turkey and the president s nominee for pentagon chief gets the third degree. I would like an answer yes or no. Well, im not going to give you a yes or no.
