re: #51 Gus

I’m glad the author used the word “barbarous.” It’s an important word. The other day Richard Dawkins called rhino poachers barbarians. Sadly he caught heat from many people declaring him “racist.” Not so. They are barbarians. A useful word.

They are also almost all black, and Richard Dawkins is white. Dawkins is also no species of racial bigot, but the sight of a white man calling black men ‘barbarians’ is bound to bring up some very unpleasant memories for some people.
