Kimmie & Chaos -
I understood that your responses were taken from a societal standpoint, but isn't there ever a time that we can look at things on an individual, case-by-case basis than bringing in the whole of history in to play when making a decision?
This person wasn't out to take over all of SCLC. Now, from where I sit the guy looks like a kook. If the powers that be in this particular SCLC branch wanted to refuse him because they doubted his sincerity, or that he was a kook, then I fully support them. However, if any other white person (say, Morris Dees for example) came forth and sought not only membership but leadership of the SCLC, I should hope that we wouldn't use the same bigoted thinking that others have used in order to keep someone out just because of the colour of his/her skin.
Like Audre Lorde says, "The master's tools will not dismantle the master's house."
