"Brother?" "Brother?" "BROTHER?" Patronizing doesn't help things much, either. >If people think that this is warfare against the state they need to get >out more. Or put their money where their mouths are. So what do you want? The NAACP to lead the masses in singing "Kumbaya?" Even the chiefpolice of Cincinatti says the riots served their purpose and put the race/class issues on the front burner. Not that I normally put much stock in what the chiefpolice says anywhere, however, this is an odd case. And while I'm thinking about chiefpolices, actually, you and your shallow analysis of the situation in Cincy sounds like you have a job as some apologista-stooge for the cops. And that crap about the sadness of destroying "Black businesses" is really a very thin veneer of "I think it is okay for Black Capitalists to exploit people, it's the white folks and Koreans that have got to go." Hmmm. Doesn't that bring us back to patronizing? carpo
