generally.... i'm mostly speaking for myself. i as an anarchist do not
feel like i'm in a position to tell african americans what's good for
them. that principle seems neccesary for recruiting purposes. I maybe
misreading various history and so forth but i see that the african amercan
community has had bad experiences with outside groups (vanguard parties
and so forth) telling them what they should do. if i was in that position
i would point out that they've had more success with their own self
determined forms of resistance. if it's considered 'anarchism' or whatever
is hardly relevant if 'anarchism' IS a mostly caucasian form of resistance
then so what? if you think that it is a result from some racist ideology
inherrant in anarchism then say so....otherwise i don't see the point in
even bringing it up.
