i totally agree. if anyone else said that they would be labeled a racist.
perhaps I don't read posts often enough but I've never seen white people referred to as "those people"...I also think that Harry Belafonte had a right to voice his opinion the same way Baraka had a right to write and publish his poem. This is a free country...and we have something called freedom of speech...and just b/c you don't like what was said, then it doesn't negate the right for it to be said...or so says the constitution....btw, as far as Colin Powell changing his stance on the war.....he'd have been out of his job faster than a hot potato in a cool hand...regardless of whether he agrees or not, he was appointed to follow(the directives and policies) that man some call the president...
