The best writer on Bnet is st. claire. She posts almost exclusively on the Race issues forum, mostly on the thread "racist" makes white people crazy angry.

She is brillant in responding to both white supremists and white people who deny the existence of racism and White Privelege. With patience and persistence she points out the flaws in their logic without engaging in personal attacks.
I've wonderted lately whether or not its worth even posting here at all since the majority of threads are riddled with opinion void of fact or reasoning and harrassment of those who seek intelligent, respectful dialogue.
St. clare confirms for me the real power of words. Sometimes words get at the heart of the matter. Her words point to those places where ignorance, arrogance, and greed masquerade as equal opportunity and optimism.
