On the ongoing RaceFail09

Man, Sh*tt*rly's continued framing of the issue as a flamewar has made me realize just how necessary the term "imbroglio" actually is - he sounds so amazingly dismissive, as if racial oppression and malicious outing are on a par with shipwars or the Cult of Mean. At a certain point, which I think we've reached, it isn't even valid to call him a wanker. He's crossed over into downright choadery. Nothing anyone on the antiracist side of the imbroglio was in any way wanky - we were producing analysis, not bearing grudges, being bitches, or rushing to judgment. Ugh.

For the record, my list of never-more-shall-be-read now contains Sh*tt*rly, Cramer, Bear, Bull, and the Neilsen Haydens. Monette I remain drawn on. As far as new reads, I hear that jonquil is putting together all the POC recs from coffeeandink's post, which will be an amazing resource.
