p>Tom Bethell asks about the current Obama position on racial
preferences. He opposed the Michigan referendum which outlawed
same. His statement is the usual rap which of course never deals
with the subject of what sucker gets the affirmative action
neurosurgeon.

I appreciate the fact that we live in a country where you can write and distribute your comments on the Wright/Obama matter and be paid for doing it. It makes me happy to be an American.
And, of course, I am free to tell you that your column is mainly baloney of the first order. You cannot know the black experience or understand the historic fact that we were founded as a free/slave nation and still compose such nonsense. Multiply your unhappiness with racial preferences by several fold and you begin to approach the level of generations-long anguish which people of Wright’s generation have known. To deny this is to live in a fairy land of comfortable facts and ordinary grievances.
p>I know it’s your job to attack liberals, and I expect that you’ll continue to do so as long as others read what you write. Fine. Do it. But recognize that there are millions of citizens who know that your experience of racism is still at the kindergarten level. In essence, you’re a fake. br> —
