That's what some LBO-talkers say. Why should their opinion matter more than those of the Brown student activists of color? Especially given that some here think that students of color who object to the _Daily Herald_ taking racist dollars should just "quit school" & "get a working-class job"? Why should the students of color listen to you, Dennis P., etc.? It's not as if you, Dennis P., etc. were working your asses off trying to make reparations possible anyhow. You have no better idea to offer.
