Once we succeed in this little publicity stunt, then we can declare Wyoming a 'no blacks' state (except for the occasional unsuspecting tourists). And the percentage of blacks in South Carolina will get a statistical bump. From there, we hit Montana, Idaho, then onto Iowa, and then who knows - the sky's the limit! are you with me?!<BR/><BR/>of course you're not with me - because this racist shit is bullshit. instead of defending this racism, do something useful. there of plenty of worthy people and organizations that need your help.<BR/><BR/>i swear, if i had a nickel for every self-described lefty who was trying to bring about world peace by dividing the Left...Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319342837525619844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733227.post-6760757409390770692008-01-19T16:21:00.000-05:002008-01-19T16:21:00.000-05:00Peter, It is sad to see someone as articulate as y...Peter, <BR/><BR/>It is sad to see someone as articulate as you seem to be spout such an inaccurate and biased opinion. <BR/><BR/>You state: <BR/><BR/><B>I said I didn't want to be involved with MXGM because of their 'Back-to-Africa' nonsense.</B><BR/><BR/>The MXGM states:<BR/><BR/><B>We have no realistic plan to transport 40 million captive New Afikans back to Afrika.</B><BR/><BR/>Clearly, you have distorted their actual intentions by calling them a "Back-to-Africa" organization. They explicitly call for independent land in North America, not Africa. <BR/><BR/>You state:<BR/><BR/><B>I could not imagine ever supporting a policy of the separation of people based on race.</B><BR/><BR/>The MXGM states:<BR/><BR/><B>We say ‘Free the Land’ because We want independence so that we can ensure our Human Rights are protected and that our land will be a zone and base for all who seek liberation and freedom.</B><BR/><BR/>The MXGM advocates <B>Human Rights</B> for all people. Any organization that takes this stand is unequivocally against "racial separation," racism, and the general doctrine of racial superiority. It is dishonest and dishonorable to suggest, as you do, that they have a "policy of the separation of people based on race" when their own words speak a completely different truth. <BR/><BR/>Apparently, you haven't done your homework, Peter. Your opinion amounts to an emotional, knee-jerk reaction to the idea that New Afrikans ("Black" people in the United States) would choose to build an independent New Society. You play the "race card" in a context premised on our common humanity -- a weak, telling move. <BR/><BR/>...and you have the nerve to use the words "abominable" and "asinine" in your juvenile rant. <BR/><BR/>No... it is <B>you</B> who needs to check yourself.Ukalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092098915129995488noreply@blogger.com
