Hegemony might apply in this situation if we even knew the race or "class" of the writers, but we don't. We do, however, know what they said. Did you even read it? It's pretty clearcut that they didn't intentionally disrespect the "black man." I understand hegemony, but that doesn't mean we should apply it in a situation where it so obviously does not apply.
