Debra Dickerson has lost her mind. I truly feel her experiences as a black woman, and as a black woman desperate for some kind of literary fame or acknowledgment, have made her insane. I feel so bad for her kids. I'm biracial and cannot imagine the headtrips she's imposing on her poor, innocent children. I hope their father comes and rescues them from her. She is beyond self-loathing--she is a receptacle of hate that spews over whenever a paying gig comes calling.
Salon, can't you please find an intelligent, self-aware, talented black woman journalist who writes about all sorts of people, places, and ideas? Is this really too much to ask at this point in American history? Or are you too busy giggling about how Debra's gonna humiliate black people this week? Really base and sad and terrible. And something to stuff one's face over.
