Subject: anarchy and racism


Since no one brought if up. That King guy from Jasper, TX got the death
penalty. Anyway they showed something on the local news briefly that
disturbed me a little. It was some graffitti of racist settiment that King
elegidly did and right next to it was a big, red circle-A. Anarchist
philosophy is probably the most misconstrude political therory there is and
the circle-A one of the most misrepresented symbols, but do other white
supremisists us it?
By the why what happened in Jasper was sad, but what followed was also sad.
A group of Black Panthers came in from I think out of state and the KKK
came in from somewhere else as well trying to turn the incident into an
international one. All the while the locals were having multiracial
candlelight viduals, and the trial took a couple of days and the jury
deliberated for about 10 minutes. 
Do you, the people on the list, think that this kind of explotation of
incedents like this one by either side, hurts or helps heal racial wounds
in the U.S.?
