That's a fair point, but I think there was more intent here than just being a rant, the format is just providing a style of rhetoric for him to deliver his arguments, by framing it as something he's angry somebody else doesn't realize. I personally do think there's some constructive stuff in here, in that he's trying to convince people to be more open to his perspective and the perspectives of people like him, that they normally instantly disregard. As I said, I agree with this stuff. But the issue is that this style of rhetoric, rants, is becoming something of the norm in my experience, and I think more people need to be engaged in constructive dialogues before everything's just drowned out in anger.
I see your point. I wasn't trying to dismiss it, racial problems in our country are very real. I was, however, dismissing the method the guy above me talked about. I really feel like it distances black Americans from the very people whose opinions they're trying to sway. I'm not saying the author is without merit.
