"Odd. You conflate intellectual honesty with missing the point. An ostrich in your ancestry?"

You had previously written: "..Cute. The WSJ attempts to avoid the racism charge by getting a black to write the article."

Cute. Are you saying that you know the WSJ had the motive of wanting an article like that to print and specifically hired a black, telling him what to write?

Odd. I will admit that I assumed you were also attributing motives to Shelby Steele and attacking what he wrote. Please accept my apology for extrapolating your negative remarks about the motives of the WSJ on out to include Steele and his article.

No apology needed. The quick and blitterforth of conversation on the net evoke multiple misunderstandings. They pass.
