This marks my second essay* on race. It may be the last. I don’t enjoy stirring up or hurting the feelings of people who are confused, and I really don’t like playing games with people who enjoy stirring the confusion.
Despite the fact that I personally have nothing to gain by broaching this volatile, touchy subject, the reason I have felt inwardly compelled to write something about race has been twofold:
One: For several years, I have been watching racism grow on the Internet. It has been swelling like a thundercloud. Cyberspace allows a perfect temperature setting for race hatred to bloat and balloon, like yeast dough.
Two: I recognize that race hucksters–charlatans–black supremacists, like Al Sharpton–are fueling the fires of bigotry, when bigotry really doesn’t need any more fuel.
