i dont think your analogy holds any water, seaver.
and i dont think this thread worth the effort of explaining it, because i dont think the tempest at its center is worth the bother---the premise is ridiculous--the editorial that smeth posted above summarizes a bunch of reasons for it--i have others as well---but this issue is not one that i feel should be accorded the respect required to use it to construct arguments against the conservative style of not-really-dealing-at-all with racism in america.
it just isnt.
so if you want to have a discussion, start another thread.
