Overreaction, scaeagles ... but yes, I would find the determination that a lot of people are hostile to Kayne's statement to be bogus if those people were not black.
Just saying that most "people" are hostile to the statement is meaningless, since most people are not black. Yeah, I find the opinions of non-blacks to be without supreme consideration in this instance.
In fact, I think it would be very telling to find out just who is hostile to West's statement and who isn't. Very illuminating if white people are hostile, black people aren't, or conservatives are hostile and liberals aren't. I bet George Bush was hostile to that statement, but that's just the point.
