From: Robert Naiman To be even more precise, it's that it exaggerates the import of violent fringe racist groups in order to raise funds, rather than the prevalence of racism per se. Obviously, racism remains a big problem in the South as in the North; the question is, if you're going to donate x dollars to "combating racism," should you donate your dollars to an organization that is writing reports exaggerating the importance of fringe groups with little influence, or should you donate them to organizations that are combating racism that causes much, much more social harm.
^^^^^ CB: Has Cockburn or anybody else demonstrated that SPLC exaggerates the import of violent fringe groups ? Are there many Black people who agree with Cockburn that SPLC is exaggerating this ? Could you name some anti-racist groups are fighting racism "better" than SPLC ? _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
