Stasi: Digesting racial talk at the dinner table

Quick: How many movies can you name that take place over a family's dysfunctional Thanksgiving dinner? Is it because all that abundance that we're supposed to be thankful for instead brings out the worst in us, or is it because we're stuck with the relatives on that one day that we avoid every other day? If you're lucky enough not to be forced into slave labor Thursday and can instead spend the day with your family , chances are good that hot topics stuffed down your throat along with Gramma's frightening cranberry compote are guaranteed to kill off any goodwill that the warmth of family togetherness has racked up.
