"Trapped in a racial construct" is an article by a black writer on the editorial page of the Toronto Star on Thursday, November 24th, 2005. I sent off the following letter to the editor in response but expect the odds of seeing it printed are about 34,269:1 against.
"In my opinion, there is some truth to the notion that the black community is the victim of the racist beliefs of the dominant white community.

But, wars have been fought and people have died defending the proposition that all men are born equal.

It seems to me that the black community would benefit from knowing that the average Canadian regardless of skin color is a world class paragon of ignorance, stupidity and illiteracy. He actually believes that people who learn to read are born mentally gifted so there is no need for honest or objective literacy standards in our schools.

It seems to me that the black community would benefit from the resolution of this insanity. For then it would surely be apparent that they are as capable of literacy as any other member of the human race."
