While I recognize President Bush's statements of disapproval regarding to nooses, I think it would be more benificial for him to speak publicly about the evils of racism- the noose is merely a tool used by people. Also, I feel that this speech contradicts his absence in Texas after the lynching of the black man that was drug by a truck. His absence at a time of a fresh lynching in a "post- civil rights era" shows his levels of priority (hint: it doesn't have to do with promoting racial equality).
