As a young African-American man, I would like to thank you for reopening this festering wound on our national consciousness.

Thank you sir, for re-validating the need for black professionals like myself to serve as race representatives, striving to prove that we are not like the rest of our simple-minded brethren and we deserve a chance at the American dream.

I appreciate the opportunity your well-crafted prose provided for me to look myself in the mirror and ask existential questions such like "I'm I smart enough to compete, or do my genetics determine my destiny?" and "Maybe don't have what it takes, I am black after all."

After a long day at work, I throughly enjoy relaxing with a Slate article which helps me to understand that if my future children don't succeed academically,I can take comfort in the knowledge that they can't help themselves, they're black. Maybe if they work hard enough they will have the opportunity to scrub the toilet of someone as smart as you.

Thanks for helping me to understand why we shouldn't be alarmed at a 75% dropout rates among black males, high crime, drug abuse rates in some inner-city, majority black communities. Thats to be expected, they are black after all. Maybe we shouldn't continue to subsidize this insanity through welfare, public housing and public schooling. Maybe we should let the savages destroy themselves, I'm sure it wouldn't be any great loss.

While we're at it, lets cut off aid to Africa, clearly these people are too stupid to get-it-together, just look at the size of their heads. Of course, silly liberals will prevail upon us to respect their humanity but I would argue that humanity is better off without such genetic bottom dwellers, wouldn't you agree?

Finally, I'd like offer my sincerest thanks to you and your people for giving black folks equal protection under the law despite your well-founded misgivings. Clearly we are undeserving on such benevolence given our losing status in the genetic lottery. You're right, we aren't created equal, I'll never be as smart as you. I don't even feel right taking a paycheck, I should be working for free, Robert E. Lee was right.
