institutional racism. (Remember that your former leader, Bill Clinton,

Jon sez: Though I agree the bill is an absurd waste of time ( especially in
these times ) there can hardly be any racism attached. The vast majority of
taggers and "artists" are white.
There's a lot to say about a bill like that, you should simply get your facts
straight if you want to be listened to.
