Say What???

So my friend Vince dropped a link on Facebook with the comment:

"Hello everyone, please respond and share:Most of you know that I write a blog called Third Coast | Third World. It's on ChicagoNow, a site that is owned by the Chicago Tribune. I came across this article earlier today and since I think it's pretty overtly racist I asked the staff to remove the post. Please take 2 minutes to look at the article and send a quick email to staff@chicagonow.com to let them know I'm not the only one who thinks the site and the Trib should not be associated with this."

and the article he was referring to:

Why Blacks Kill Each Other & How to Cease Ire (Part 3) - False Solutions

Say what?  Come again?So, when I got home, I knew I had to check this out.  After reading the opening paragraph:

"It is an observable fact and intuitively obvious to those within the inner circle of esoteric wisdom that 99% of the difficulties and problems experienced by African-Americans are a direct result of the misuse of their own minds and their own faulty thinking."

I knew this one was headed on a downward spiral.  Now, allow me to first address this in an academic manner.  I know we're living in a "post-racial America" where we have a black president, and black men can walk down the street, sit at the front of the bus, and marry white women.  I also know that whenever someone makes claims of "racism" everyone else wants to assume that they're jumping to conclusions.However, you gotta admit...that's some bulls**t!So, I sent the following email to the staff of the Chicago Now blog:

"I am an occasional reader of Chicago Now, and enjoy checking it out when time allows.  I however, came across what I felt was a rather disconcerting blog post:http://www.chicagonow.com/unreserved-candor/2013/02/why-blacks-kill-each-other-how-to-cease-ire-part-3-false-solutions/#comment-7

While I am a firm believer in the first amendment rights of all, those rights do not guarantee that your words will be proliferated and celebrated.  I feel this blog drips in racist disdain, as well as pretentious, misguided condescending bombast.

I would humbly ask that this post be removed.  If Chicago Now associates itself with such attitudes, and I do not think that I will be frequenting your website in the future.

Thank you for your time. "

and as for the not so academic manner...

"Kiss my black a** you racist piece of s**t.  I'll show you the love in my heart as I'm cackling in glee while bouncing your head of f the bumper of some rusted out '89 Cadillac Brougham (pronounced Bro-Ham). "

If you're so inclined, feel free to email the staff at Chicago Now at the address above and express your opinion on the aforementioned blog.  I think it's utter trash.
