Hi Nicole,
Pleaese notice how “Pro” the white knight, puts himself through all kids of changes to say disparaging things about me, BUT HE NEVER ACTUALLY ADDRESSES MY RESPONSE ARTICLE TO VIERA’S ESSENCE PIECE. When I pointed this out to him, he shrugged it off as being a waste of his time.

You’re right to hold his and Viera’s, and by extension Essence’s feet to the fire on this one. Oh, and you have my full permission, use this comment of mine as evidence of that, to repost my actual article on your site. Let’s invite everyone to see for themselves, if what I said was indeed “misogynist” or not.

Also, please let them know that I had written withering criticism about Marc Lamont Hill, and instead of him baving a bird about it, he actually read what I wrote, and we had a very nice Twitter conversation afterward. So, what you said in your Essence forum post can definitely apply – Black Women (and their white knight enablers) Acting Badly, indeed.

As for my “Why Are Black Women B*tches” post, please go back to the Google cache of my blog and take a look at the date. It was well over a month after my response to Viera’s Essence piece appeared.

They say that Ad Hominem is the last refuge of scoundrels. “Pro” couldn’t make that old saw, more true.

Thanks again for the vigorous defense! Much appreciated.
