No one, but that doesn't mean we should ignore it.  A very important part of learning about race is admitting to and investigating your own subjective prejudices.

My point is that subjectivity shouldn't stop people from expressing their opinions.  It makes just as much sense for Kanye West to say Bush doesn't care about black people as it does for Bush to say Brownie is doing an excellent job.  I daresay Mr. West has a better view of the underside of racism in America than Bush does.

It's up to Lurkers to discuss and establish the objectivity. :P

Try this on for size: The lesson to learn about race is to get past it, not to dwell on it, and to take people as your find them. That is a two sided coin, of course, a two way street. :)

I don't think West understands race any better than anyone else. What he understands very well is the rhetoric of the racist, and race politics.
