I believe the root of my arguement that it is impossible to maintain the position of as you say "positive racism" with out the negative creeping in... and that is basically where I'm coming from, PHAShriner 1906, may have at one time began a quest for the sole betterment of "Black Men", but because of the exclsionary nature of that quest it has turned instead from "what we can do, to who we can blame" - which ulimately I believe is self defeating, for a great leader never spends the time to point the finger, but instead they lead by example.



Alrighty... personally I see the feminist movement a natural extension of the freedom movement - afterall if you see others breaking free from the previously subserviant role society placed on others... why wouldn't you want that for yourself? I don't understand why that makes them the "enemy" (in much the same way as my knuckle-dragging canabalistic kind ) - after all why not use the movement as yet again another means at improvement and social change? Why not have positive "feminist" role models and draw women into the struggle? (I don't mean militant feminism, or militant anything for that matter). [/B]

Who said women are the enemy? Dude, go back and read what I said.
