Re: Thoughts on new US FIRST splash page?

Erm, in response to a private message I received, I would like to clarify something:

When I used the term "black rage" earlier, all I meant was "really, really mad" (to put it politely). The term as I used it had nothing whatsoever to do with race.

In thinking about where the term came from, I realize that I borrowed it from a game -- and in searching around for usage I've found that there is often a racial connotation with the phrase that I was completely unaware of (and is not present in the game).

I apologize if anyone was offended. I won't be using the term from now on.
