Did Rodney King ever get his question answered?

Do you remember Rodney King, the guy in LA who was videotaped as cops used him as a pinata? There was a riot in LA when the cops were acquitted of all charges, and Rodney was famously quoted as saying "Can't we just all get along?"

A lot of my columns ask more or less the same thing. Haven't really heard much in the way of answers. In this weekend's column, I want to know -- I really DO want to know -- why it often seems we can't. We're still fighting over such stupid stuff. Would it help to understand why?

I keep thinking so.
