Dylan calls itAfro-facism and racist because black newspapers are critcizing David Craig for using a white guitarist. Ridiculous!

Racism has nothing to do with simple selection or preference it is far more sinister and ominous. Also racism is does not operate in a vacuum, there is already a pre-existing situation. Present references to racism and its remedies cannot neglect the diachronic aspects of human living and action. The motivations for black newspapers criticizing David Craig are the question not the blanket fact that they are criticizing. If the criticism is because black people hate and despise whites because of black supremacy, then that would be an issue. If it is because of a host of other legitimate reasons then it simply is a cheap shot to call it racism meant to elicit a "threatened" response from many white people, who are already weary of legitimate black demands for justice and recognition. The fact that the criticism may or may not be prudent, or even stupid, has nothing to do with racism. This talk of "reverse racism" just cheapens a very sensitive issue and further desensitizes those who have disregard anyway for this issue.
