jesus, wojtek, you can be a very nasty fellow indeed. jennifer opened herself up to show how she helped to reproduce whiteness within the environmental movement, something we need more of, and you call her silly. her comment about l.l. bean and suv's was secondary but you used it as an opportunity, it seems, to dismiss her point. secondly, she did not characterize anything as 'racist,' the black man who called her did.

is this the way movement folk should be talking to each other?
