I had an unfortunate experience today, when a minister emotionally
accused me of being the consummate racist.
He said he had a screen shot to prove it, of a conversation
on the Internet. In that conversation, I began by lauding African culture, then I commented on an image he had posted -- I used the term 'golliwog' -- then, in the same paragraph, I dissected the term, being highly critical of it. He
sent me a screen shot of my use of the term 'golliwog', with my critical dissection snipped off, so turning my words upside down. I said one doesn't do that. OBSERVATION:
I haven't had anyone call me a racist. On the contrary, I have had a
lot of trouble for marrying a Black South African -- which is a
privilege and a joy. Brett Fish Anderson
