Mia, Darlin' -- you can be as loud as you want on this subject because I, so appreciate this wonderful piece!!!
I've been blogging at my own spot on Blogger for some time and while I try not to link so much to it, I just have to on this! I've been involved in this exact, same situation before and been accused of "Oppression Olympics" as a result. Rather than go through the whole back-and-forth, I'd like you to share what happened here: https://lets-be-clear.blogspot.com/2012/11/namibias-herero-and-nama-debunk-single.html
Let me know what you think when you're through...
