The author appears to be making a case--or at least a plea--for black separatism

I totally disagree. When I read it, I was very pleased. I heard, responsibility, taking charge, self-reliance. I saw an admission that whites are not oppressing blacks, but we all, in a capitalist society, serve each other.

Great article.

Oops. Sorry for the double post.

The tone of the standard freeper response bothers me. We are giving in to the racists and accepting their terms. Why is it bad to say "I want my people (blacks, whites, Alabamians, Irish, Engineers, janitors, Christians...to succeed." We have accepted the liberal view and tried to turn it against them. We don't need to accept their world view.

I am all for someone taking on the task of motivating a group, such as blacks or car salesmen, to self-improvement. There is nothing racist about that.
