What does it mean to be black anyway? If one is a person of color in this country, they know what it's like to be set apart and the feelings akin to separateness. The fact that Erhenstein was published in the LA Times with so little to say in and of itself says alot about the editorial staff. We don't have to follow the Majority publishers' bidding, as he has obviously. On another note, I look forward to your daily commentaries. I find them stimulating and provocative. Thank you for your hard work.
