Lord spare us from anarchochildishness. Chuck, have you ever given any thought to the idea that "people of color" are typically working people and may have been incapacited from participating in endless consensus-based no-leader structures for the raeson that other working parents would be incapacitated from doing that? Yeah, I think it's fair to slam A16 for being white, and I would add, student based and middle class.   --jks

On what evidence do you base your slam of A16? Surveys? What newspaper
pundits wrote?

I have no idea who you are, but your patronizing attitude towards my
opinions is making you look bad. I have a pretty good understanding of
the day to day lives of people of color. After all, I commute with many
of them here in D.C. and live in the same community as them. One thing
I've learned from living here is that only a fool would make
generalizations about people of color, because they are a diverse bunch,
even within their own cultures.

I also wasn't aware that short meetings were the hallmark of
non-consensus-based social movements. I've certainly been to more than a
few marathin meetings where voting was used or there were leaders.

The problem here is a lack of sensitivity to the needs of working class
people (regardless of color) by young white activists.
