? racism 101 a) you are racist...everyday you participate in institutional structures that are at there core racist...you gain priveledge/power by being of european descent...whether you are aware or not, whether you are actively or passively complicit you can not escape it...you can fight it by working to change the power structures but that is it... b) there is no such thing as "reverse racism"..again racism implies a level of power that is _instituitonalized_ people who are in an oppressed group simply do not have that level of power at their disposal to be racist... -k --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: 313-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: 313-help@hyperreal.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
