If you follow this link, you will see the epitome of human depravity,
committed by Americans against Americans and celebrated as spectacle. I
share it because we all too easily forget in a post 9/11 world just how
abusive we have been and, arguably, continue to be to non-Caucasian
Americans. I grow weary with all the mock patriotism, all the
genuflecting to icons of America that, really, do not deserve to be
worshiped. Dana's family and my family have given much blood to the causes
of this nation, but neither of us flinch from acknowledging our
transgressions. So if you don't have the stomach for viewing these
images, fine, but don't lecture me about how "black" people need to
respect the flag and the anthem. They lived for generations without
sanctuary in this country. IMHO, you might want to cut a brother or
sister some slack? Food for thought:
