RW> Really?  You mean that it is common practices to address a black man
 RW> as "boy" on your street?  And when a white man gets on a full bus a
 RW> black stands up to givehim a seat?  When was the last time they found
 RW> a black man hanging from a tree there with a sign around his neck
 RB> You seem to think that because you don't see it on the street it
 RB> doesn't exist.
 RB> YOUR attitude is the reason why covert/subtle racism is worse than
 RB> the overt  racism of the 60s, and the reason why many blacks are
 RB> saying that racism is  worse. Because in the 60s, Ma and Pa
 RB> Middleclass (YOU) would turn on their TV's
 RB> and could see for themselves the cops beating the blacks. The overt
 RB> racism was  very bad, but today, the racism has become institutional,
 RB> subtle, systemic. And
 RB> then people like YOU deny it even exists and are completely
 RB> unmotivated to do  something about it. So you see? Your attitude
 RB> proves what I'm talking about.
Part of Rich's message was on topic, but it appears that none of your message 
was on topic. If you are looking for a pulpit or a stage where you can talk 
about racism, classism, sexism, socialism, and many of the other topics you 
continue with over and over, THIS ECHO IS NOT IT, AS THESE MESSAGES ARE 
OFF-TOPIC HERE. I will attempt to find a pulpit for you where these messages 
would be on topic. In the meantime, these threads are dead in this echo and 
are ended. Please consider this to be an official warning to read the 
conference rules and keep your messages on topic. Your off-topic messages are 
making people angry who pay for ASKACOP and are not getting it. The people 
who are paying for ASKACOP don't wish to pay for or waste their time reading 
subject matter they have no interest in. In simple conclusion, the majority 
of the messages you are writing DON'T BELONG IN THE ASKACOP ECHO.
