. . . I'm getting pretty sick and tired of people
denouncing the N30/A16 activists as "young white kids."

[mbs] I think I only said that once, so your patience is short. .... ________
CB: What a bullshit response from mbs. You go, young , white radicals !
[mbs] when I was young and foolish I appreciated being patronized by my radical, uncritical elders. Later I resented it, since it's possible I wouldn't have done as many goofy things.

CB: I'm the wise old, radical patron on this point. Your mocking these comrades for their "whiteness" is not progressive or prudent. There being white is not "goofy". There going ahead and using direct action against the power structure , and not worrying about their racial composition is correct in this instance. Your mention of it as a reason to stop doing what they are doing is off, bad advice. In fact , they are using the fact that the police are likely to be easier on an all white group to the advantage of the movement. The police are in a nasty mood toward Black people these days. So, these white comrades have taken on the front line work.
Bravo to the N30/A16 radicals !

So maybe in 30 years the Bloc'istes who aren't selling real estate or finding their inner whatever will appreciate my free advice.

CB: No, they will see that mine is better.
