Ptui.  Here we go again with the NewRight (or perhaps the "OldRight") 
and their proprietary flames against AAP.

	bprice tells us to read Invisible Man by some guy I never heard
of before (although that has nothing to do with the book...), and flames
about how he'd be so bent out of shape if he were the hypothetical 
Newark kid of the referenced posting.  
	Get up off of it, bprice!!  You wouldn't be bent out of shape by
something that you could only see as being helpful to you.  If you're
hungry, if your people have been harassed (when I say people, I'm referring
only to "kinfolk" and the like) hassled and generally bothered, if you've
gotten the sinking feeling that this here "life,liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" bit is for "the Man", and that justice should be spelled "Just Us",
you ain't gonna bitch about something that just might give you a chance at
real, honest to God equal rights!  Don't be stupid.  You only want to return
us to the Fabulous Fifties where Men were White Men, Women were White Women,
and the "Negroes" kept their behinds behind a broom or in front of a shoe-
shine stand, and answered to the named "Boy- say BOY!"
	Your high-falutin' morality boils down to this: "I don't like AAP
because it's a threat to my superiority."

	Ptui.


Hereby moving this black/white/AAP/discrimination/etc. discussion to
