Today on the Brian Lehrer Show, Nation contributor and Colorlines’s Editorial Director Kai Wright took up a recent poll showing that whites and Republicans are more likely to believe Trayvon Martin’s case has received too much coverage. "We actually are really quite unaccustomed to talking about race in the public square today," said Wright. "So I can certainly imagine on all sides, a lot of folks are saying, ‘This is a lot of race. This is more race than I’m used to having on my television.’"
