RF Williams Says:

I was thinking Charlie, when it comes to “serious” national political debates and discourse your pundits are either white males or females. They are always gathered around your table. But when you have discussions with people of color it seems to me the conversations are centered around their areas of expertise,i.e. sports, music,plays, and book,etc. When will you include political analysts of color at your round table? You did mention the “post racial era”. I always enjoy hearing Toni Morrison.
