What a load of crap
Wow...you ignore so many things here in your attempt to criticize the site that has been called by some black bloggers as "the site to go to if you want to discuss race."
First off, the main person around here using the words you are so offended by and try to use to paint this site as somehow racist, is Liza...our publisher and a Puerto Rican woman. Are you calling her a white man? Or are you, as she suggests, afraid to confront her, so instead you blame Michael and me...and I don't even use words like "pimp" or "ho" or whatever. I may curse, but I never picked up on the faux black lingo many white hipsters picked up on. So somehow you attack me, who doesn't use those words, but not Liza who does. Do her 32D's frighten you? Is a strong woman threatening to your manhood? Why else would you avoid confronting her for her use of these words but confront me.
As to the axe...this from the man who advocates displaying a spear on sites run by blacks? I have no problem with your phallic symbol advocacy, but saying a picture of someone in a costume holding an axe is unacceptable but your use of a spear as a symbol is okay is, quite simply, hypicritical.
The blogsphere has its divisions. Oddly, you are attacking culture kictchen, one of the few sites where such a divide doesn't exist. Run by a Puerto Rican woman, our featured writers include blacks (including a Nigerian) and Hispanics, our readers include every ethnicity, and our articles directly deal with racial and ethnic issues almost on a daily basis. I have been criticized by wealthy whites for talking about race, but until you came along minorities reading my stuff would thank me for bringing up issues that are usually taboo for white bloggers.
And the Klan and the confederate flag? Is that somehow supposed to suggest Culture Kitchen is equivalent to the Klan or you think we might start displaying the confederate flag? Sheesh! The top of our page displays "Moletov Man," a revolutionary Nicaraguan. Yet somehow you equate THAT with the Confederate Flag????
You are seriously deluded, my friend.
