In case our usual contigent of name-callers try to flame you or Ms. Wright, it should be pointed out that she is an African-American.

I disagree. The writing should stand on its own. We should not cut slack, make allowances, or give extra credit for one's racial composition. If it were germane to the article she would have mentioned it. A white man or woman should be able to make the exact same observations and asserations as Ms. Wright without flame.

*I know what you meant I just think it's important to make my point also.

Umm, she did mention it:

For decades, the country has been subject to the wiles of these opportunists, who have kept vast numbers of my race diverted from taking responsibility...
