Claiming racism be racist
Four police officers and two men; one black, a noted Harvard professor, and one Jewish, a famous singer –each with a recent police encounter.

Last week I wrote an article on homosexuality. To suggest this is a volatile subject is a gross understatement. The number of responses, the intensity of those responses, and the speed of those responses was overwhelming. This could mean the topic should be off limits, it could mean dissenting opinions should not be printed, or it could mean this topic is so important, so volatile, so emotionally charged that more discussion is needed rather than less. I would suggest making any topic off-limits is inappropriate. I would further suggest deciding which opinions can and cannot be advanced is equally inappropriate. Last, I would suggest these responses suggest this subject needs much more public discussion and debate.
