And Obama's kids will probably have an easy time with the Harvard admissions committee. That doesn't mean that should be changed, just that there is no such thing as a level playing field. Pretending it's level is usually done by people who have little experience with modern racism. I've personally heard intelligent people argue that race *is* biological, so it's not all in the past. Utterly apathetic is an appropriate term for a hipster blog, though. Race is historical, which causes the social context. I personally don't like the term black intellectual, but I do know what you mean as there are people who are devoted to only black issues. I think that's a shame, as they should be dealing with the issues on a wider scale, but I understand that if you're a 60 year old college professor, most of your formative years you were probably using the black water fountain, so it's hard to ignore. Chic Noir - I do have a blog, but it's actually a pretend indie, but carefully corporate contrived and funded shill for the Juicy Couture corporation. This is the only place I can vent away from my day job promoting all that is Juicy. Little known fact is that Juicy is a shell company incorporated in the Isle of Man that actually has a controlling interest in both Fox News and MSNBC. You read it on the internets, so it must be true. I've been meaning to write a blog, but never got around to picking a topic. I was hoping for something non-controversial, like maybe racism or healthcare. Umm, hate to say this, John, but I bet Bill Gates’s son will have better opportunities than you.
