A LOCAL DISCUSSION ABOUT RACE

A local opinion piece in the News-Leader has spurred all kinds of trouble.

Rhetorica has a lot of information about the issue. Not only did the patriotic writer (as he is billed) refer to African Americans as "colored youth," but the editor has taken heat for not being an editor. Rhetorica does a much better job than I would.
