Maybe you guys saw something I didn't. But I didn't come away with the
impression that it's a white power site. One of the qualities that "they"
list as desirable for their members is a willingness to frankly discuss
issues of race. That, in my mind, does not a racist make. Most of what I
saw at the site actually made sense to me. In fact if it weren't for the
fact that I just don't the have time to follow yet another mailing list, I'd
think seriously about subscribing. And, for those who don't know, I'm a
black guy.
Did any of you actually see anything at the site that was explicitly racist,
or did you just assume such from the subject line of this thread?
