Well said Roachboy.
This idea of 'letting the past go' and 'getting over it' that some members continue to spout is dangerous. Issues of race and descrimination still plague us today, and we cannot move foward and progress with these issues until we address the past. History isnt a simple narrative, its a field of contesting ideas and theories.
Also, I didnt know people still used the term 'Pink'. I thought it died out in 1964 with MacArthur.
