No comment is needed. It is what I have been saying since I stepped into the blog arena. How can you get past the problem if you can't address it head on first.
Aaron really is a good person and he meant no harm in what he wrote and I took it as a personal attack when many other bloggers decided to NOT read his preface before reading his content.
Oh trust as HAPPY and ENERGETIC as you have called me I am NOT afraid of controversy either.

Sean,
Good article. And thank you for looking past the surface and reading whatever you want into our topics to come up with some half cocked truth. It takes a rational and intellectual mind like yours to DISCUSS a topic rather than rant and accuse.
I may not be black, I do have friends who are, and while that doesn't teach me what it's like I have seen racism against them first hand. Try walking into a restaurant in Louisianna or Mississippi and you will see first hand as I have how black people are still discriminated over white people.
And for me, that tells me not only that MLKj's dream hasn't succeeded, but that in a "civilized" society, we aren't enlightened.

I had Aaron remove my original comment because when I read it again, I realised it probably didn't make much sense to anyone but me. Sorry for that.
I'm sensing a little...hostility(?) so I think I'll wait until I can post something coherent -- I don't want anything to be misconstrued.

Okay. Now I can actually put some thought into this instead of posting randomly.
For what it's worth, I don't think Aaron's a bad person -- just a careless writer. The two are not intertwined to the point of no return, and careless writing has no reflection on one's moral character -- at least not to me.
After the election, I made a few posts that were...careless, and Aaron pointed that out -- in fact, I think that's how we "met". Anyway, after thinking about what he said -- I realised he was right. There's no sense in spouting off just for the sake of spouting off, which is what I felt Aaron did with his MLK post. But it certainly doesn't change how I view Aaron as a person. Free speech is free speech, period.

It works well.
