For me the most telling part of the piece is this:

_____________

"The American media hold a special place in my heart for their faith in diversity. In the recent Duke case, with which I presume everyone is familiar, a lying black whore (she was lying, she was black, and she was a whore: I suppose I should identify her as Snow White’s sister and a pediatric nurse.) accused innocent college kids of raping her, whereupon the entire complex of media and governments piled on, ruining the boys’ lives. The racial aspect got tremendous attention: White racists in the South abusing a poor black girl. This is a favorite template of the media.

Many see the hooker of Duke as just trying to get attention or money. Perhaps she was, but she was also trying to get the white kids put in the slam for many years (where, incidentally, they would almost certainly have become the sex toys of a heavily black population.)"

______________

In this bit I note that the author cannot restrain himself from using the phrase "lying black whore." The parenthetical bit that follows this term is less an explanation than a clear indication of an "inside" understanding between/among the author and his audience. This person knows whose heads are nodding, and he is dismissive of those who do not nod.

How often, I wonder, does this person feel the need to use the phrase "lying white whore"?

I also note that the final parenthetical bit reveals not just a strain of homophobia, but a racist-homophobic bent. It is as though becoming sex toys of a heavily white population would somehow be preferable, at least more bearable, than to find oneself bending to the non-whites.

Sorry Green Mountain. I see nothing particularly revelatory or even interesting in this highly charged, poorly-written piece. The author's words reveal him as a racist, and it is at that point that I find it hard to grant him credibility.
