Ill avoid using outright personal insults like you have.
The entirety of my point is the he focused ona "white" and "black" relationship which happens to be the same colors found in a similular realtion shipin America(be it real or percieved).
My point is not about slavery, it is about carelessly linking reality and fiction for arbitrary purposes.
Look at his exact words.
"are the cultural minority that struggle against economic and social presure that come with the job of being the conquered"
Sounds awfully familier to me.
What is unwise here is not that he dealt with the topic of oppressed minorities, but rather that he did it with blacks and whites, and then used blacks as the opresser. Its not wrong, but I think he could have been a little more creative.
Your point Occi is entirely inconsequential to mine, but Im sure it made you feel good to rant about something, so you can feel that you defended him.
