i ain't got much to say about this, i ain't taking sides, i wasn't there, i don't know all the details, i don't personally know the people involved, and it's past my bedtime. but, i feel like this response might be one of the most balanced voices that i've heard from another black person on the subject.

 

for the record, i do *not* take the stance that what the writer said is exactly how the subject of the article sees the world, and i'm not sure if i 100% agree with him, but what he said is a good, humble smack in the face for all of us and reminds us that we all have a responsiblity.

 

take that as you list :-)

 

holla...
