I agree with each of the people who have commented thus far. I will add my responses froim time to time since I have so much to say about this.
I especially agree that the comments from others was a sad reminder that things have not really changed and it seem that the only thing that has is that people are just not upfront about their hatred. Even though Mr. Hororwitz said he was not racist, he did not refute those who agreed with him but that said racist things yet he refuted in a disrespectful manner those that tried to engage him in intelligent discourse.
And the fact that he tried to incite controversy and a possible racial war of sorts at colleges that have a problems with race (like my alma mater *UVA*, Brown, and the California system of public universities) is a tragedy. I and many other folks saw what he was doing and have tried or wanted to try to call him on it. He is so rude to those who disagree with him and pigheaded that there is no point. That is why I sent this to everyone and put it everywhere I could so that we can all recognize what is going on.
Please don't stop the responses. This is a situation that we must all educate those around us on.
