  He believes that the biggest impediment to black people in the modern day is other black people. > Marion Barry abuses the D.C. mayor's office and snorts crack on video and `movement' blacks march in the streets to get him acquitted. > Who will wake up the poor blacks in our cities to the fact that they've become their own worst enemies, slaughtering each other in numbers the Klan could only dream of, yearly racking up casualty figures reminiscent of a medium-sized war? Is he asking any black people what should be done? Not in this essay. He's laying all blame at the feet of black people. He doesn't mention any issues caused by non-black people. Also, he's asserting that some anti-racism initiatives are threats. > `Afro-centrists' agitate for their own (segregated) schools and curricula that would consciously try to write the white man out of the black child's version of history. (Increasing black representation is writing the "white man" out of history?) > Who will speak the hard truth: that, against this hideous backdrop, continued attempts at the moral blackmail of innocent whites with reminders of past racism will only drive them into the arms of hatemongers like David "Sieg-Heil" Duke and his scummy gang of knock-off Nazis? (The worst racism is calling something racist?) If this essay was supposed to convince me he doesn't hold some racist views, it backfired miserably. His vision of "non-racism" appears to be conscious ignorance, where the biggest racist threat is people saying something is racist.
