No, it is never enough. While there are those that want race to no longer be an issue, as soon as any "prospect" of raising the race card comes up, there they are, looking for any and all media attention they can get.
I wrote a post called We Americans are All Racial Cowards when our US Attorney General Holder decided that we are all cowards when it comes to race:

Well, I had named Al Sharpton as one in that group; today, I found that he did not disappoint!
The Rev. Al Sharpton was still not satisfied Tuesday after New York Post owner Rupert Murdoch issued an unprecedented personal apology over a controversial cartoon that was branded racist.
Standing on the steps of City Hall, flanked by several City Council members and civil rights leaders, Sharpton continued his calls for a boycott over the illustration, which critics say compared President Obama to a chimpanzee.
"[Murdoch] says in his statement this will never happen again. Well, he does not say how he intends to see that it never happens again," Sharpton said in front of supporters holding signs reading, "Yes we can shut you down NY Post!" and "How do you spell racism? New York Post."
Mr. Murdoch….no matter WHAT you say or do, it will not be enough. It never is never enough…and Reverend Al is going to make sure:
"I have had conversations with Post editors about the situation and I can assure you, without a doubt, that the only intent of that cartoon was to mock a badly written piece of legislation," he said.
"It was not meant to be racist, but unfortunately, it was interpreted by many as such.
And as it always will be.
Look, if one looks hard enough, looks long enough, one can almost always find something wrong with someone or something.
As it should not be.
