Any respect I ever had for Sasha Frere-Jones's opinions (or merely confidence in his ability to think and reason) ended today. His campaign to label Stephin Merritt a racist is possibly the meanest and most pathetic thing I've learned about in the last 24 hours. And really, it's just plain STUPID. If he doesn't appreciate Beyonce's singing or Outkast OF COURSE he hates black people. Crikey. So many people are so dumb (and obnoxiously certain of and loud about their idiocy) that at times I wonder how the rest of us muster the strength to leave the house.
