.....This is an open statement in response to the recent PoemHunter postings by the anonymous 'Black Alex.'
As a person of color, I've known the ignominy, the humiliation, the vitriolic pain of racism, both in statement and deed. My years have taught me acceptance, understanding the valued principle of free-speech. However, I do believe that writers..spewing venom..such as this...should dare exercise courage of his/her convictions, and leave free-speech...unfettered.....by the cowardly cloak of.....anonymity!
Bravo! There are certain individuals who choose to abuse the priviledge of participation on a site such as this. A sad comentary - they are the eyesores of humanity. Racism is not to be tolerated - not here, not anywhere. I applaud your courage in speaking out. Linda
