I'm a hard headed lawyer.
We are not programmed to bury our kids.
Too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no truly good law enforcement reason.
I don't even talk about whether or not racial profiling is legal. I just don't think racial profiling is a particularly good law enforcement tool.
I am the attorney general of the United States. But I am also a black man.
Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial.
