An astonishing reality of socialist organizing is that, no matter how much anti-racist rhetoric you preach, no matter how good your anti-racist demands are, and no matter how politically correct or even self-deprecating your white activists are, none of these things necessarily lead to building real connections with the Black community.
This is, of course, the typical white socialist approach to the Black community. You show up to demonstrations, you have anti-racist statements in your newspapers, you formulate large-scale political demands that seem to touch on the problems the community is facing. Most comically, you jump through conceptual and semantic hoops to abolish your own racial category, or otherwise self-criticize. full: http://www.thenorthstar.info/?p=12190 _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
