I don't know if I care to see "white" turned into an insult, any more than "black". Is Art saying that black people care what black leftists have to say? (I doubt it's true.) Is Art the spokesman of the silent majority?
And when did Rakesh become "white"? When he refused to pay homage to that All-American hero Malcolm X? Face facts, Malcolm X's Autobiography is on the school syllabuses now. He is being taught to children black and white, by teachers who have assimilated him into the curriculum and the canon of American triumph over adversity. -- Jim heartfield
