Subject: Re: White mens problems 


is this just an opinion, or are you offering some proof? as far as i know 
there's tons of evidence that race, and racism are socially constructed, i
would like to see what evidence there is showing thats humans are
genetically disposed to hate strangers and strange groups of their own
species. again i think these things are socially and historically determined
like race and gender and class. b. brown
