Ok so you are here discussing race and the first thing you say is

lame article that didnt do anything to promote a discussion of race

So I guess you’ve disproven your own opening statement, just by making a response to this thread.

Did it ever occur to you that it’s ok to write an article from the perspective of a white person? Did it ever occur to you that it’s ok for someone to share their experience without going out of their way to apologize for it? Did you even read the article.. because if you did you’d know the “whiteness” of the editorial staff is included?

Is it a crime to be white? Is it a crime to describe your experience? Is it a crime to say “I was mugged by someone black” when you really were mugged by someone black?

Yea, I didn’t think so.
