You are certainly free to include yourself out of "us", if you believe yourself to have been the victim of racism.
Thanks for the permission Rusty, and I'm not including "rudeness"....I can tell you about my experiences if you desire...but till I do, don't assume that you know what they are....or that just because you feel a certain way that that way is always "right".......
but, back to the argument as it was going before the comment I singled out (rightly so) I agree with your assesment of Howard and racism....
happy new year,
Steven H.
