It won't be much of a defense in comparison to the vicious attacks, but someone has to do it. Frankly, it's the American way: When a minority group gets slandered, we offer praise and right the record. This minority group has been getting slaughtered lately. White guys, I'm talking about.
If I sound touchy, well, I've been a White guy for 38 years. For the record, we represent 36.9 percent of the American population, but
it sometimes feels like we take 99.9 percent of the grief. Yo, dawg, being Black for about a week would
swiftly disabuse you of that notion.
This is the sort of thing I was talking about
here when I said
And not to put too fine a point on it, but "racist" is the only word that makes white people as crazy as "nigger" makes Black people. It makes them crazier. White people don't want to hear you talk about ANY white person being racist.
I mean, was they talking about him personally?
