| I get it’s been used in the past. And I am against rewriting history like gone with the wind or the play you referenced. And I have problems with holding someone to statement made years ago (like randy rainbow). But I do think moving forwards there is an obligation to follow the rules of being politically correct for all. I don’t think it holds water to have white people with one standard and people of color with a different standard. | |

| It's not just that it's been used in the past; it was a direct inspiration: When I was a sophomore in college I saw the made for TV special For Colored Girls who considered suicide and was blown away by the words. Being a spoken word artist as well, it inspired me to start writing this piece. After researching the play more and realizing it was written during the feminist movement of the '70s, I wanted to write something for the young black male of the 21st century. |

| You are certainly entitled to your opinion on this (and everything else). What I am understanding is that that is what you are doing and you are free to maintain your firmly held convictions with or without doing any of the suggested reading etc. I also assume you acknowledge that no one can enforce any "rules" and that what you are doing is telling a person of color what they are obligated to do. A respectful request: please ponder that for a minute. | |
