[lbo-talk] Ward Churchill & 9-11 [...Thats ridiculous!]

[Joseph Wanzala]

some of them might have been, it was a pretty diverse crowd... at least two 
of them were not, me and another black guy - but then the 'race' of the 
people has nothing to do with whether their point was valid or not. Just 
because some 'Indians' think Churchill is a fraud does not make their 
opinion valid, nor does it take away from the opinion of white people who 
think he is a fraud. In other words, the validity of ones opinion, may be 
informed by, but does not turn on ones race but the internal coherence or 
merits of ones ideas.
