Here's your answer

It seems in showing off my new site under development, in particular the binding of my "Best Of" stuff, has reopened a can of worms. There's only one worm in the can though, and its name is ProperWinston.

Well, its blog's name is ProperWinston.

Actually, I discovered the other day that AlphaPatriot blogrolled me in very complimentary fashion (which gesture I'll return when the new joint is done). I think there's like three progressive sites on his blogroll now; that may have caused the worm to turn as well.

I received this lovely missive:

Earl,

Why you are a Jew-hater.

[URL redacted in keeping with my policy of not linking to anyone I don't respect]

best,

Grant.

P.S. I don't expect you to respond (considering your banal attitude), but it would be nice.

This isn't Joe Taylor; I don't care enough to address his delusions. I'll link to the P6 posts that put the bug up his ass, though. It's in the Racism series, of course. Just keep in mind the links to his site aren't any good anymore…well, they never really were, but I mean his URL has changed since then.

Of course, this is all my fault. At the end of this post I invoked the invertebrate myself:

I also found an essay that strikes me as pretty representative. It's on a blog named Properwinston. If you'll scroll down to June 18th, you'll see a post that begins as follows:

People

That dirty little concept called "race" just won't leave the American public alone. On the same day, one can turn on the television to see images of African-Americans rioting in Michigan while opening up the newspaper to read about President Bush's federal ban on racial profi[l]ing. Both stories reveal, regardless of what the average American of European descent thinks, that a great deal of African-Americans have yet to become "white people in black skin." All decent Americans understand that African-Americans lag behind economically and socially because of their history: the combination of slavery and Jim Crow. Improvement has occured, but in relative terms the gap between African-Americans and the rest of society remains extraordinarily large. Yet, most Americans who aren't of African descent see the condition of African-Americans as either improving or equal to the rest of Americans. This means that most Americans of European descent puzzle at the outbreak of a race-riot.

I'll discuss this post in my next essay (whenever I write it…). I wanted anyone who's interested in what I'm writing to be familiar with it. For now, though, I'm just going to drop a hint: if you can't see a major problem with the line 'a great deal of African-Americans have yet to become "white people in black skin.",' it's going to be a long haul.

I document his response and respond to it here and here. The promised discussion of the post that caught my attention is here.
