I'll never deny the possibility of being wrong.  Inshaa Allah (God Willing) I retain enough of a conscience to refrain from sliding into the 'evil' category.

But I still maintain that Mr. Pitts (with whom I disagree as often as not), wasn't taking the position in his article that you've ascribed to him, per your above post.  I believe he was arguing that those who decry injustice usually serve "truth, justice and the American way" better than those who denounce them for doing so.  I agree with that.

There are too many knee-jerk attempts to drown-out dissenting voices by reviling rather than refuting said voices' arguments.  Such as shrieking "RACIST!" when someone has the temerity to question police-actions against black folks OR express criticism of a particular political leader 'of color', "ANTI-SEMITE!" when someone criticizes "Israel's" mistreatment of Palestinians (who are Semites, BTW) or "HOMOPHOBE!" when mentioning that some gay-rights activists' claims lack scientific basis.
