Robinson's column on race

Now, if a conservative white radio commentator had been this racial, all hell would break loose, but I think we get Mr. Robinson's drift.

Robinson is my favorite. I am surprised somewhat that you read him...knowing his bent.He is about the only bright some in our local paper anymore...it gets skinnier and skinnier. I grew up reading three newspapers...I am down to one a day and the weekend NY Times...times they are a changin.

A number of years ago he wrote one of the best articles I've seen on the safety net of marriage and the extended family.

From what I'm seeing, he married the Barbie... but wanted something not quite so... whatever. I'm looking for a word here that signifies less than pure and idealistic... but much more than low down and dirty.

But I think Robinson is wrong to equate Wood's desire with nationality and/or race.

Or perhaps he is less than brave and honest in not going ahead and asking why Tiger didn't choose an African-American for a mistress.

I think that was Raspberry's column, not Robinson's, but it was excellent. I'll keep looking.

Not Barbie; maybe Bratz dolls? Fat lips; big eyes; imitating the "real" Barbie?
