That's not my gut instinct. That's my wish. I wish that we could leave
all of this behind, and I thought that at least on the IDM list there
wouldn't be arguments like this popping.
I live in the motherfucking Bible Belt. I go to a college where the
Greek societies and several other organizations segregate themselves on
purpose, even against university policy. I'm in a writing course where
when somebody uses the word "black" we have to go into an intense
analysis of the author's motives. I slip on this argument on the
sidewalk, I smell this argument coming ten miles away, and I make this
argument when I see others being ignorant. If you want to continue this,
we can take it offlist.
