FORMER senator Bill Bradley, Al Gore’s sole challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, has a message for you pale types out there: He knows better about race; he has infinitely more compassion and sensitivity than you; and if you only cared about your fellow man as much as he, we could live in a decent country. Chances are, you haven’t “struggled with race” all of your life, as he has. You haven’t been able to see the awful fact of your “skin privilege.” And you certainly didn’t play for the New York Knicks, which would have afforded you a chance to “live in a black world.”
If you think Bill Clinton and his vice president are self-righteous and sanctimonious about race—wait’ll you get a load of Bradley.
