I didn't want to go here, but I'm seriously pissed off: it amazes me that a white guy from the cornfields could lecture a black guy (in absentia) who's spent years of his life in New Orleans (where he has lots of family), Atlanta, and South Carolina on "the continuing racism at the core of u.s. culture." This is exactly the sort of empty but ego-inflating essence of these jeremiads against 'racism."
