The point is it's quite clear from the statements I cited that the author of the pertinent entry is not black. While he/she may "have made themselves emo known to the subject," the subject matter clearly has not been introduced sufficiently to them. The sensibilities expressed are so far off emo the mark, they really ARE laughable -- and, indeed, somewhat emo insulting. Yep, far-fetched presumptions about black history and culture are fine for comic relief. But when they are produced in a format where they could be construed as fact -- that's pretty galling. But an "official black people committee"? Gee, thanks for pullin' my coat. *jumping up and down excitedly* I wanna join!! :-p -- deeceevoice, June 15, 2004 Because of Wikipedia's free-for-all nature, you are more than welcome to jump in and lend your touch to the article; I do not know whether a "white author" bias exists in the article (or in Wikipedia articles as a whole), but if you believe it does, please help to correct it!
