TempleAlum1993,
Your point is well taken.
However, I don't know how fair it is to compare an authors use of his occupation with somebody's use of an organization. I don't care if it was the coalition of 100 black women, or the NAACP. I think it's questionable to have a character act like a fool, then stick them in a real organization.
I have a really hard time accepting the lack of moral judgement that seems to occupy all facets of the media nowdays. Books are not always harmless, look at that book (can't think of the title) where the author supposedly proved that blacks were inferior to whites. Movies are not always harmless, look at BIRTH OF A NATION.
It's too simple, to me, to just say, "Oh, it's only a book."
P.S. I do apologize for ruining the plot for those who haven't had the opportunity to read the book. My bad.
