Not cool, Toni Morrison

From an interview on the Leonard Lopate show:

Leonard Lopate: When W.E.B. Dubois said that race was going to be the number one issue in America in the 20th century, some people have said, he should've said the 21st century as well. Is there any way to get past that?

Toni Morrison: I don't know, that question has to be put to white people, not me.
