Imagine these scenerios:
Scenerio 1.
Superbowl. Halftime show.
R. Kelly and Britney Spears are dancing together.
Suddenly Kelly rips open Britney's blouse exposing her breast.
Riots break out all around the country.
Scenerio 2.

Professor Dan Carter has written a book which traces American conservatism from George Wallace to Newt Gingrich...and beyond. In other words, today's conservatives are yesterday's George Wallaces. One of the foci of this cult is that race mixing is wrong. But over the years they have loosened up a bit. But only a bit.
Kevin Kostner can be shown having a relationship with Whitney Houston.
Justin Timberlake can be seen dancing with Janet Jackson.
This doesn't limit the opportunity of white men. It expands their opportunities.
The reverse is not true...at least not for white men. When a black man is seen with a white woman...many white conservatives see this as a threat. This is one reason why you never see black men in tights. You see them in clothes so baggy it is impossible, to paraphrase Robin Williams, to see what religion they are.
If we are ever going to get beyond the racial "grand illusion", white conservatives are going to have to quit thinking with their little head, and realize that all combinations are valid, equal, and capable of love...and yes, sex.
