Walter:  Each of us has our own "story."  We are today the result of our life-long experiences.  Charles Dalton is clearly an angry man .....an angry Black man.  Is he a racist?  Good question.  He obviously harbors resentment against Whites for what he sees as discrimination and mistreatment he feels he's received because he's Black.  IMO, if he condemns ALL Whites because of that it does represent racism.  This is an interesting topic and clearly is important to Charles...It's important to me as well.  There exists racism toward Blacks and there exists racism held by Blacks against Whites.  It's one of the many critical issues of the day.  

"Freedom of Speech" is a tough issue.... clearly a lot of hate is expressed on this site....there's a lot of hate "out there"...the real question is "what can we do to de-escalate this tension?  I think CC works hard to achieve a balance between freedom and civility...it's not an easy task.  Regards, Gary crum
