1) we are all permitted our righteous anger and its honest expression. there are certainly moments when intellectualization just isn't appropriate. but entering into loose statistical analyses invites a more complex response than just a chorus of "yea".

2) the anger you feel about being tossed under the bus by those you may have seen as avowed or natural allies is exactly the same furious frustration felt by (some of) those whose comments you are angry at.

3) i think that the call of "racism" is a common technique of shutting down or derailing useful discussions about race.

4) everyone needs to get this out of their systems, get heard, and get on with it.
