Your first premise, that race allocates class is faulty to begin with. How do you account for middle and upper class Af Ams, Latino Ams, Asian-Ams, etc.? In other words, as usual Masadi, you are making gross generalizations that cannot be factually supported.

tahmed,
there is actually a bangladeshi architect who is working on this plan. the proposal includes floating schools, hospitals, etc.. bangladesh's intellectuals (people like mohammad yunus) are brilliant enough to work this out. very exciting to see the results of their visions.

re: Martin Luther King, Malcolm X:
Oh totally! Both leaders and intellectuals were so rigorous in challenging race construction that they became a serious threat to the govt at that point. Terms like "sell out" have to be really examined honestly before they are used.

sorry tahmed. i generally agreed with your comments

perhaps you should be reviewing the overwhelming evidence of class based discrimination that is part and parcel of empire building. may i remind you that the irish were not considered white by the british and americans until fairly recently? this issue is much more complex than you admit-race to a very large extent is a false construction, is indefensible as a concept, and is defined by policy.

Masadi,
I am a fairly outspoken critic of historically entrenched racism and colonialism. However, I think that seriously ignore that classism is as significant an issue to your critiques of societal inequity.

Masadi,
Do you think all white people are equally powerful and active members of the norms, values and practice of dominant society?
Do you think all white people are equal beneficiaries of the institutions, policies and and socio-economic and political processes of the dominant societal structure?
I think you need to be honest about this.

"Anonymous Abusers On Internet
Topic started by subroto on Apr 5, 2008 8:21:02 pm
The Organisation of Anonymous Abusers on Internet (TOAAI) has recently expressed dismay at being the target of abuse internet message board.
Speaking to reporters via a web chat the president of the organisation said that he was hurt that real life people had started targetting anonymous abusers on internet forums. "I mean I wud normaly not hve chatted wth a sick cow lke u but am ding it cos we kneed to get to meadia hos like u" he wrote while chatting to our correspondent Cathy.
K2B00Bs, as he is known, said that the internet provided a welcome outlet to stay at home underachievers who would otherwise lack the opportunity of normal interaction. "Fck mam this sucks big time like u probably do" he wrote, "all we r doing is targetting sickos who chat online using their real identitties, and dem basterurds turn agaiunsts us. Fuck man I cant say hw much it hurts having my imaginary familes bing abused. It jsut drivels me up my rockers".
According to K2B00Bs' other internet identity SuCKmYD1Ck, the internet was the only option middle-aged men could live their lives productively. I don't know how I'll be able to go on living in the real world with real social skills".

nb, as far as I understand of ancient Greek civillization during the period of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc., women were required to cover their hair with "shawls". They were seen as the embodiment of transgression and had to be "contained" in speech, appearance, and personality. Some Greek women friends who are part of Greek Orthodox communities say they find a great deal of similarity with Greek and Muslim orthodox cultural tradition re: the conceptions of the female body, etc.
