1. I love Tavis

his interviews are very insightful

[Wetzelbill]

3. He parlayed the crazy caller pretty well

lol

5. Yeah, he did.

And that's how it's done. Talk to them respectfully despite the fact that you think they're crazy. Tell them what you agree with, what you don't agree with and why. Well done!

[Wetzelbill]

7. it was impressive

It would have been easy for him to say: "Well that caller was nuts" or to get argumentative. I probably would have.

4. Get back to me in 40 years, when "non-Hispanic whites" are no longer the majority.

And in fact, there won't be a majority at all, since no race/ethnicity will be more than 50% of the population. Maybe *then* we can talk seriously about a post-racial America.

9. That is correct
