1) It's a great article.
2) It's not really your job to educate white people, so thank you for your efforts.

No, it's not my job to educate white people. Sadly though, these incidents of racial insensitivity by white people keep happening. That is why I title my thread 'Know your American History'.

As long as some of the participants in this thread were being glib about the issue you, DBB, had no comment. Once you and anyone who reads through this thread were given a perspective on the topic that differed from the glib attitude,now you want to act offended.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that you SHOULDN'T educate people if you wish to.

I was responding to the parenthetical where you noted that you are doing a worse job than Dr. Phil and pointing out that anything you are doing is above and beyond what is reasonable when it comes to educating people who obviously have an internet connection. You provided a great read on the topic.
