> 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.
