Thank you. I was thinking of posting that at Salon as well, but it doesn’t look like there’s any way to do it other than to post using your Facebook account.

I have to think carefully about that. Sad but true. After all, I might “offend” with what I wrote and so, if my real identity is associated with it (even if it’s not objectively offensive which I don’t see it that way) it could still have lasting reprocussions.

Sad isn’t it? To have a *real* conversation about race, one has to be willing to risk “offending”, but so few are willing to accept offense in the name of such progress. Also, the fact I hesitate just because I may suffer reproussions sickens me. If I’m not alone in such hesitancy (and I suspect I’m not) the thought police have already won.

We’ll see I’m still mulling it over.

Thanks again.
