Yes, clearly I understand that the world used to be "Ivory", I fully support the idea of black History month and Latino history month and all the rest, my developing countries lit class (featuring many African authors) was one of my favorites. But in today's society I find race-specific media divisive and unneccessary. Popular culture is hip-hop. Oprah is like a god. Jamie Foxx and Halle Berry and Prince are Oscar winners. Magazines and television feature people of all colors. Yet there are still members of the black community that refuse to see that discrimination is no longer the norm. It would be different if such publications targeted actual Africans, because they have different languages and vastly different cultures. But if you were born and raised in America by American parents and speak plain old American English you are AMERICAN. It's not like I walk around referring to myself as Irish-American. That is my family heritage and I embrace it, but it doesn't define me at all.

Can you not even consider that maybe in this day in age it is wrong that black people are the only ones allowed to discriminate? That it is perfectly ok for this guy to say (in short) "I hate white people" and for many others to echo those sentiments? I personally find it appalling. How can anyone ever expect to achieve equality when they strive so hard to keep themselves apart?
