The above comment from Mr. Martillo about says it all.  Mr. Martillo, I
wonder, WHAT IS A KNOWLEDGEABLE Black?!?   Is it a Black man who you have
defined (according to your terms) to be "intelligent"?  Is it a Black man
who is knowledgeable about "the Black Experience" (isn't that tautological?)
Do you imply that whoever you have deemed to be "knowledgeable" therefore
will be assured of not offending EVERYBODY in that ethnic pigeon-hole
you have created?

It seems that Mr. Martillo has problems seeing the individual as opposed to
the ethnic label he has attached to them.  I might add that his labels
are (to put it politely) out-of-date, or (not-so-mildly) racist.
