Listen to this immigrant speaker at an Oct. 19, 2010 Brecht Forum panel explaining why she is “Pissed off. Pissed at white people, pissed at the U.S., pissed at what the U.S. flag meant and having to see it everywhere and anywhere.”
Note that this is the same Brecht Forum which hosted Tariq Ali’s Oct. 20, 2010 book launch at which Frances Fox Piven also spoke – just the day before.
The Brecht Forum holds programs and events for socialist/Marxist/progressive enthusiasts. It is “a place for people who are working for social justice, equality and a new culture that puts human needs first.”
Dunce,
There goes the “love it or leave it” paroxysm so common and obviously exclusionary. The world will be better when non-whites rule the roost for a while. From Internet marketing to political circles to boardrooms, few non-Caucasians hold positions of power. The next time you see a New Age-type seminar advertised, you’ll notice than 97 out of every 100 speakers booked are white and yuppieish. Does that mean that all speakers are racists? Absolutely not. Birds of a feather flock together and the ones in control of the exterior elements of life – for the most part – have ivory white looks. The key is to realize that life is an inside job as well. And in the inside world we can color the world anyway we choose. That inside world is what can keep the peace.
Do not let the gate hit you in the butt on your way back to where ever you came from.You are not a prisoner here.You probably will be in jail there if you speak up about your native country and the flaws it has.If it was so great ,why did you leave it?
