If a white male wrote this he would be tarred and feathered as a racist Nazi. But a black person can write this up, call it as he sees it and nobody breaks out the buckets and chickens. Very interesting.

Buckets and chickens. That's cute.

I don't think it's unlike "consultant" syndrome, though....if a local consultant tells the Gotham City Council what's wrong with the city and how to fix it, it will be more palatible and accepted to Gotham's residents than if an out-of-town consultant does it.

Very interesting.I'll not argue with you about that, but the article is a refreshing point of view. And perhaps we can start a civilized discussion about the topic.
