Reply #82: Please stop calling me a "race baiter"

[incapsulated]

Nothing I said is race baiting, it is my own opinion. You are free to disagree, from your stance as what I assume is that of a white person. But when a black person criticizes a candidate, or the the attack of the person levelling those charges, is dismissed as "race baiting", I find it "racist" myself.

I'm no Sharpton lover, I'm from NYC and lived through that Tawana farce. I was often in complete and hostile disagreement with other black people about that incident. My feelings about Dean and whether he would be a good representative for the issues that people of color have are completely my own. I don't think he is a racist, but I find some of the defense of him exposes a dismissive attitude toward racial issues simply because it might hurt your canditate, with no regard to what it might mean for black people.
