Dr. Anne Wortham is the author of "The Other Side of Racism: A Philosophical Study of Black Race Consciousness". She is Associate Professor of Sociology at Illinois State University and continuing Visiting Scholar at Stanford University 's Hoover Institution. She is a member of the American Sociological Association and the American Philosophical Association. Pretty strong credentials, don't you think?

In researching Anne Wortham I also found that she is a follower of Ayn Rand. That's why I haven't heard of her before. A black university professor who is a Rand fan?
Why bring her up? Because I've just come across a letter she wrote to her fellow Americans on November 6th of last year. I thought you might enjoy it ... so here goes:

Fellow Americans,

Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a black president to love the ideal of America.

I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the United States of America, all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I would have to deny the nature of the "change" that Obama asserts has come to America.

Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them. I would have to be wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration - political intellectuals like my former colleagues at the Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.

I would have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my interest. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.

Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.

So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a black man to the office of the president of the United States, the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a black person. So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America. Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine - what little there is left - for the chance to feel good. There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness.

This woman must be PURGED!!!

In this day and age how does a black woman NOT vote for Obama? We have failed this woman comrades! How did this educator get to the level of Associate Professor, how is it that she is teaching this hate to the children, how is it that she is able to write such a letter, and how is it that she is employed at Illinois State University which is in the home state of Obama? This woman somehow slipped through the cracks, I hope someone takes care of this situation immediately and fill the cracks that this hate monger slipped through!!

Please be a glorious compassionate progressive, Comrade Sea-Bass. This woman is obviously mentally ill and needs lifelong psychiatric treatment. Although all of the fine Soviet-era institutions have now been closed due to budget cuts (another reason we need Commissar Obama's health care reforms!), there are probably still some excellent ones in North Korea.

I agree, Comrade Sea-Bass, this woman must be sent to the gulag at once for reeducation until she admits her sin to the Obamessiah and begs his forgiveness.

Gasp! How could this happen?! Gulag is a fine idea for her. For starters, as a sacrifice for the Common Good ™ I'll share my shovel. Maybe then she will be more equal to O'prah, Michelle, and Rosie O'Manatee, the stalwarts of True Black Feminynity, the latter with bleached skin, united as wiccan amazons in the struggle against the chauvinist pig, imperialistic and kapitalistic oppressor known as MAN. Blesséd be!

I denounce Genosse Pieck for saying that man is an oppressor and forgetting that Comrades Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, and many other great People's Leaders were men.

Comrade Joe,

of course these Great Leaders were men. But they were gentlemen, who knew how to treat their ladies, especially the dissenting ones. They were NOT the same as the WASP's our class warfare is aimed at in the USSA.

Yes, of course, these People's Leaders were gentlemen and knew how to treat ladies. Specifically, they sent them off to the gulag for reeducation. I also recall that Comrade Beria (head of the NKVD) was quite fond of pulling random women off the street for some good ol-fashioned rape 'n beatings. Ah, those were good times, Comrades.
