Recommended of course.

RE the thread you posted regarding the original "Dear Whiny White People", think you're correct per the opening remarks, a large segment of white America doesn't want to be reminded of our National history of Slavery or following institutionally supported practices of Discrimination.

Those same "willfully ignorant" people seem to be following in the footsteps of the "Ayn Rand" crowd, take that same completely selfish perspective, don't want responsibility for the welfare of anyone else.

Think I'll post the rest of my remarks elsewhere since they'd otherwise be lost in the general confusion.
