Posted on Wednesday, May 30 at 09:55 by rearguard
Cook’s problem is that one edge of this sword just fell on a web-site he edits, the Peace, Earth and Justice News, “a non-profit, all-volunteer, non-hierarchical media organization” based in Victoria whose mission (as described in its Constitution) is to report on “climate change and other environmental issues, war and peace in the Middle East, Afghanistan and elsewhere, and human rights and other matters of social justice.”

    "Because of the actions of jackson and Marcarc I held back." <br><br> I could see absolutely no reason to hold back, unless I were to cower in fear of unjust reprisals for posting an article that is perfectly valid and legitimate. <br><br> <a href="http://www.vivelecanada.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=18&showtopic=18266&lastpost=true">See my reply to Calumny</a>.

    I think most people are fair and reasonable. I've had to deal with many people, and I've come across people of different races and cultures, yet all I saw were people unlike any other. Me, I focus on the individual. Some individuals are jerks, some are nice, some are foolish, some are savvy, some are half insane, some are reasonable, etc.

    Any given member of the legally defined "identifiable groups" are perfectly capable of showing irrational "identifiable group" bias, and it is very clear to me that the people of European decent most certainly do not hold a monopoly on the phenomenon as is clearly evidenced by world affairs, some of which happen in our own back yard.

    Even the repressed can be racists, because they are only human unlike anyone else.

    I suppose someone will now accuse me of being a racist for suggesting that everyone can be racists.

    My thinking is that we should call out the jerks for what they are - jerks. What people look like or have been genetically created as, has no bearing on what I think of them, instead it's their actions that speak on that behalf.

    I do know that people do not always interface well with me for various reasons, but I'm absolutely positive the reverse is also true. That is one of the oldest facts of life, no less so than having a neighbor that is far too noisy or on the flip-side, one that is far too quite!

    So long as we "live and let live", all should be well, but that does not work if one group tries to impose it's will over others.

    What I think we're fighting is hegemony from a few people who are craftily using their privileged "identifiable group" status as a weapon, and that will never sit well with me.

    Am I to be called out as a racist for pointing out that the repressed have the wherewithal to become what they claim to oppose?

    Call it as you will, but censorship *is* one of the symptoms of repression, period.
