And I hope he goes on "hating" Jews, Arabs and Koreans, and maybe gets burned at the stake for it some day by Puritans who make no attempt to understand other people but just hate, hate, hate their impure, confused, contradictory, ambivalent, sinning humanness.

You dismiss me with 21 words. I write 13 paragraphs, trying to explain my experience and trying to understand what's going on with Andy Young. We fought so hard to get rid of those "colored" drinking fountains, and beatings and lynchings for trying to vote, and for trying to be citizens and full persons. Andy Young was a wonderful and courageous young man in that struggle. Do you have any idea how difficult that was, or how hard to envision and believe in change? For people to rise up from slavery, and transcend the ugliness and brutality aimed at them every day, and demand to be treated like human beings, and SUCCEED at changing the world with your humanity and fearlessness? And it broke my heart to see him fawning over Bushite hypocrisy, and hear of him kissing up to Wal-Mart, a full blown Corporatist, and to read of these low remarks about Jewish, Arab and Korean merchants. Don't you understand tragedy? You're just going to dismiss this with 21 words and your holier-than-thou attitude about "ethnic hatred'? This is what comes from Fox News and Bushite thinking. Snappy little, self-righteous remarks--and no ability to understand someone else, and no interest in doing so.
