What rubbish.
The civil rights movement mobilized and organized the Catholic majority to
take up again the struggle for freedom. The civil rights movement
leadership represented (and still does) the broadest possible coalition.

You might try COYOTE, the sex workers union in San Francisco. In that fine
union town the women who work at the Lusty Lady saloon are unionized and
represented by the Service Employees Union local 790. Since many of the sex
industry workers start as phone sex workers or strippers there is a lot of

Once you quantify what you consider a "good" job then you can check with

Hi Doug!
I'm not sure who makes it into the count of Black households, and so I ask
this as much out of ignorance as I hope, to be of some help on directing
the inquiry on income and race in a positive direction (as I can be no help
in providing a packaged answer, besides idunno.)

It was actually Adam Smith who first summised that labor produces all
wealth. David Ricardo, arguing against the corn laws of England proceeded
Marx in making that same deduction; and invented the labor theory of value.
Ricardo quoted Smith, "The real price of everything...is the toil and
trouble

I think it is true that the (catholic) church has not always been
monolithic on the subject of the poor. (Or women for that matter; St.
Bernadette the patron saint of Ireland for instance ran abbys and performed
at least one abortion, two unusual things the church today would not have
smiled upon)
For clarification: My remarks were intended to remind our colleague of the
Catholic church hierarchy requirements that clerics and nuns spout the
party line. Sr. Nirmala was responding as per the requirement of her oath
of office to a question about abortion. As a nun she was not "free" to make

The way to say it without sounding like a chauvanist is to say it like a
feminist. There is no cultural basis for asserting that Sr. Nirmala is
acting out of an Indian cultural perspective. The beauty of culture is its
adaptability. The Indian pantheon of religions include many female deities,
