I suggest as Robert Anton Wilson would say, take what you like and leave the rest, i.e. don't throw the water out w/the bath water. You can learn interesting things from a racist. If in fact he is one. Further, I'd be so bold as to say, if your from American you a racist, our culture has it incoded into our language and culture on varous and deep levels most do not even understand.. I'm a racist. But you can bet your ass, I work at deprogramming myself everyday of the week. <br><br>As an anthropologist, I could go into all the ways we see rascism, that would boggle your mind. I'll save you the lecture, however, know that the ideal of boundry markers and White ethnic issues are Invisible to most whites. They can't even see their own, how could they distinguish from anothers.<br><br>If by chance you think the above is hogwash, get back to me after you listen to Tim Wise. If, infact, you are interested in educating yourself about the nuance's I'd suggest this:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?arch=14264">www.kpfa.org/archives/ind...arch=14264</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Give it a listen, then we can dialogue about racism. Nature Exposed to Our Method of Questioning and all that.<br><br>Finally, I say you can learn from a rock, it's all in your approach. So give peter Shank a fair hearing, if your of the mind or don't it's all up to you. "Think for yourself, smuck!" ;-)<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
