I missed this before, will, I'm sorry.

But I fail to see how 'hatred or unreasonable mistrust towards another race fueled by racism from said race' can be designated as racism in any form. Sounds to me more like a 'reasonable reaction.' And this may make me a socio-political freak in this day and age, but I don't think this reaction reflects on the character of those who are reacting this way in the least.

Do I take it that you are withholding judgment on Rev. Wright for feeling that way, but just trying to pin a name on the views he purports? Or, are you saying that his views betray a flaw in his character? Should he be moderating his views? What exactly is the issue?

You know, I've seen all kinds of wild theories and speculations about what the Bush administration (and other conservative administrations) have done, are doing, will be doing...quite a bit of it right here at TFP. Should these folks be moderating their views, as well? Should they be viewed as hateful and threatening? Because if you line all the theories up side by side, in many cases I really don't see the 'AIDS' one as being all that more wild than many others. Only difference is this one comes from an almost exclusively afrocentric point of view and therefore seems to take on a more threatening, taboo distinction. Would you agree with that?
