Reply #59: BlooInBloo, several recent threads have called to mind a few points you made

[fishwax]

last year. First in (I think) the tar baby threads, where you said that white people don't think it can possibly racism unless someone uses the n-word. Then, after the Michael Richards incident, when some were defending him, you had to revise that, and say that EVEN WHEN someone uses the n-word it apparently isn't enough.

It was a great point then, and remains sadly (but not surprisingly) quite current.
