JBJ, I have to say that I find your statement about the "camps" of the Black community interesting and pretty close to at least my reality. I think there are perhaps more than just those two camps, or maybe just subgroups within each camp, but I do see agree that there is a split, and that obviously one camp tends to be more vocal than the other. I don't know that your friend Amicus would agree though.
Speaking of Amicus, I'm with Liar on this one. Although I dislike or disagree with what he has to say a majority of the time, I certainly do not want to see it censored. To do so would be to admit that anyone can censor what I have to say because it may offend someone. That's how we ended up with the ridiculous, sanitized, PC version of everything that we have now. Besides, I don't believe that keeping someone from expressing their disdain or hatred for me makes them like me more; it simply gives me one less clue that I should probably stay away from them.
