Don Imus, Chris Rock and the Other Great Divide

A national shock wave was felt last week when popular, but divisive, raido talk show host Don Imus made more than a racially sensitive comment. He absolutely drew a new line in inappropriateness of speech on the radio.

While this is not the first time he and others have made comments that were incendiary, this particular one became a national story as one side tried to spin, correct and dismiss, and the other side called for apologies, and dismissal. My, how quickly the "mighty" can fall.

In a well thought out, and articulate column, this writer addresses the deeper issues of this latest incident of the racially tense undercurrent which flows through so much of our society. I appreciate writers who deal with difficult issues thoughfully and fairly. You can also find an excellent treatment of the issue here.

As Christians, there is no room for racial, ethnic or even gender dividing lines.
