Imho - this qualifies.

really down under The Man? Something closer to the straight poop, as it were? <

I don't think any individual should be either responsible for - or entitled to - comment on the "condition" of an entire population. This just feeds the vampire of Political Correctness, which is a subtle censor.

To the narrower point, even if one of our fellow posters identified herself as black - we would owe her the courtesy of thinking of her as an Individual first, an American second (if applicable!), and black third. This is mho.
