When's the last time you heard a Polack joke? Here's a headline from today's Democracy Now:
>We turn now to a discussion on the alarming increase in overt racist
>symbolism and violence across the country. As the case of the Jena 6
>entered the national spotlight, cities and towns across the United
>States have witnessed a spate of copycat noose hangings in public
>places. Diversity Inc magazine reports at least 45 noose incidents
>since October 30.
>
>We begin, however, with a story that has received less media
>attention than the noose incidents. This September, a 20-year-old
>African American woman in West Virginia was kidnapped, raped,
>tortured and held captive for over a week by six white men and
>women. I'm talking about Megan Williams. This is an excerpt of how
>she described her ordeal to the Associated Press in late October.
