There was some noise made here yesterday about Amazon's wingnut biased "Amazon Editorial Review" of "Unfit For Command". Though there are a couple positive editorial reviews still there, the official one was pulled. Dunno if the dKos community can take credit, but what the hell! Thanks to those who brought the issue to light and to those that acted on it!

(Now let's see about those Customer Reviews...)

Sometimes I come upon a story that makes me realize the grand scale of things that need to change in this world and leaves me feeling rather small in their wake. Perhaps this one touches me because I met the subject, a Nigerian named Osy, briefly a couple months ago and have heard much about him from his neighbor and my co-worker.

The editor's note states:

The writer's Nigerian husband faces bigotry from his fellow countrymen due to his ethnicity, while her white skin prompts red-carpet treatment.
