Prometheus 6

Some email feedback on the closed thread.

I and others, apparently, were trying to reach out, have dialog. If the impression you're trying to give to your readers is "white people just don't get it", then okay. Fair enough. But it's not "all respect". I made many interesting points, I haven't seen them elsewhere, and you claim to have responded, but did not, and I can't find such a response anywhere.

Anyway, good luck with everything. Check out the Imus show if you ever get a chance, you may surprised how absent from the show anything that can even be construed as racist even appears. He does use edgy, racial satire, very occasionally. But it's generally not mean-spirited. I'm sure that sounds crazy. Also, some of the quotes in that article are simply untrue.

I consider Martin Luther King, Jr., a hero. If your goal is to end racism, I hope you'll find some partners of many different shades. I personally do not like being defined by my skin. I find it very hurtful(no shit), and I'm feeling it happen more and more. I am white and live in a city where no race is the majority. Which is fine by me.

Anyway, of course you know what racism feels like, it is truly awful and disgusting.

Again, good luck and peace,

That's BertMP, who is probably still not happy. But let's break it down.
