*EMAIL OF THE WEAK:
Hi Keith —

I really do like your stuff, but your obvious inability to resist playing the race card at every opportunity serves you poorly, at least with me.

I don’t like your work because of your race; I like it because you produce really funny and clever comics. Your frequent stressing of race differences does nothing at all for me, and I think it’s one more contribution to the ongoing racial dissonance we all suffer here in America. Ask me, I’d say the non-white people are now more responsible for sustaining racial division here than are the white folk, and I’m sorry, but I include you in that assessment.

Best regards,
*****

(i guess i’d better stop writing about who i am..i don’t want to offend this person’s sensibilities!! -kk)
