Oh, you're the author! Thanks for writing. Just to be totally clear, I wasn't criticizing, but sharing more, because even after 8,000 words, there's plenty more to say on the topic. (e: Now I see the [OC] marker, which had wrapped to a new line in my browser.)

Oh no, that was great. Do you mind if I just pull quote you into the article? I think you said it all as well or better than I would.

Looks good! I like the comment about being able to write a whole book on it. Richard Rothstein did write one: The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America I found it a disturbing and very enlightening read.
