Subject: RE: Ani DiFranco Song Censored on Letterman?
She singles out a group based on a particular skin hue and implies something about their lack of character?

If that's the case, That's not backlash racism, r reverse racism, baby that's the true article!

Its getting a bit less common, thank goodness, so be sure you recognize it when you see it.

If those country seeking bulldoserfolk move in next to African American Folk (yes, they move from innercity dwellings too) ask her if that was motivated by racism or perhaps better air for their kids to breath.

I know folkies who live in what could be described as "country", (not to mention that Hillary gave it a try) who would be very offended to be publicly branded a racist.

I hope Ms. DeFranco's sweeping characterizations will be remembered if she ever decides to seek the tranquility of a rural lifestyle.

Any mudcatters live in the "country?"

I say let's let those with besmirched characters have the floor.
