The irony is burning holes in my brain.

I think S.P. is implying that the discussion, here, has become petty, and I would agree with that.
Cass Tech is having a parade downtown right now:

The reason for that, here, is that the discourse is open, but seldom open-minded.
If one sees a thing as being a certain way, and no amount of input will give one pause to consider a different view, I don't see why one would continue to return to a thread after stating one's point.
My world is not black & white at all. I've been here allowing for alternative possibilities while most others are adamant about their interpretation [[yet unwilling to specifically defend it).
And Slippery Pencil has misinterpreted my stance [[and Goose's, too, I believe). I do not agree with the contents of the letter.
You have a brain? Really?
You know what I meant. I could have engaged fully and didn't. Checking in and seeing that typical posters were, indeed, acting typically isn't the same as arguing with certain folks about what is, and is not, racist.
I never stated anyone agreed with the letter. I'm just telling those claiming racism to stop relying on logical fallacies and refute the man's points. An outsider could glance at the state of Detroit & DPS compare it to better off cities and schools and conclude the letter is correct. If the man's a racist is irrelevant to the truth or falsehood of his claim.
