      <![CDATA[Dear Greg,<br>
I thank you for your reply to my review. I just want to mention that one of the goals of my essay was not to target you personally, but just to show that statements/slips of a tongue we make are unavoidably informed by dominant ideological cliches of current culture.

      <![CDATA[please read my review of the Hunger Games <a href="http://dailycapitalist.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://dailycapitalist.com/</a><br>
(a response to Akers' race-bating review of the same movie). When you read his "don't trust whitey" essay, you begin to realize how effectively mainstream Multikulti propaganda has distorted people's minds.

      <![CDATA[I used "blacks" as a euphemism for an equivalent word for "whitey" which I thought some might consider offensive. Anyway, here is the definition of "whitey" from <a href="http://dictionary.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dictionary.com</a> for those who like to use it:<br>
<br>
white·y<br>
&#8194; &#8194;[hwahy-tee, wahy-] <br>
noun ( sometimes initial capital letter ) Slang: Disparaging and Offensive .<br>
a white  person or white  people collectively.

      <![CDATA[Greg, I don't want to post any spoilers, but if you read the first part of "Catching Fire", note the reception Katniss gets from District 11 on her tour, and see if that changes your mind. It is a dramatic scene, and I can't picture it being left out of the sequel.
