Approximately one year ago, I wrote Mr. Maxwell a letter, referencing an article he wrote in which he repeatedly referred to blacks as "African-Americans".
In my letter I included a quote from Theodore Roosevelt about A hyphenated American not being American at all.
Mr. Maxwell replied to my letter by asking me what I was talking about.
As I thought I had made my point, I could only assume Mr. Maxwell was being facetious.
As far as this incident goes, it has been occuring for many, many years, in cities all around this country. Hence a reason "whites" flee the cities for the suburbs.
IMHO ... Mr. Maxwell is an admitted hyphenated American, and therefor no American at all.
Your comments and observations are valid. But I applaud progress. Every crack in the dam that divides our country is good news to me.
