Actually, I was told about this thread by someone else, who had posted on Eratosphere. I had been told about this thread regarding Mr. Green's poem -- and given some idea of the comments, and so I posted my own.
The thread did not strike me as "divisive," or not nearly divisive enough -- if anything, most commenters seem to find Mr. Green's poem as utterly inoffensive as certain individuals where I was raised (the Midwest and the South) continue to find "humor" at the expense of blacks utterly inoffensive.
And I had no idea there was a pecking order, based upon how many posts one has made to Eratosphere. Good to know!
