Indignation over racist columns
ENRAGED. Perfectly and succinctly does that describe how I feel. In this day and age, being the angry black man is something maligned and demonized by popular culture. It seems, now, inappropriate to be that ill-adjusted malcontent who, instead of being the determiner of his own fate, would rather blame his failures and inadequacies on society and the wrongs imposed upon him by white people. But in light of recent events, a bit of righteous indignation seems appropriate - if not warranted - by the ignorant, obtuse and racist arguments proposed by Kimberly Liu in her March 1 column "Taking color out of the equation" and Anthony Dick in his March 20 column "Phantoms of racism."
