I am angry as anyone, but I don't think this kind of name calling is particularly constructive. I am not African American, but Asian American. Korean to be specific. We could have been the Palestinians, without home or hearth or Native Americans, still used or abused by the US Government. But, with these caveats, I agree with your sentiments. Not the expression, though. Your facts are there. But all people who are the left or right have to recognize, that we are all racist to some degree. Its been a failing of the liberals, of all colors or any conservative, for that matter.
I did the same thing too, throwing verbal bombs in order to make an impact. But listen to the Pacifica radio Stations:
www.wbai.org
www.kpfa.org
www.pacifica.org.
they are an exercise in how to be reasonable and RADICAL.
Take care.
See you in prayer through the work of justice and peace, for one cannot exist without the other.
Sincerely,
Paul A.Moon
