But I suspect that some of what he said has been taken out of context -- perhaps some of his angrier moments. I frankly don't know enough to decide at this point. I want to know more about the man and his stands over time to decide. I have heard that he was well-educated, which makes me curious as to how much of his reputation has been hype?*br*:*br*: Politically Incorrect Danger List? I wonder if I'm on that *br*: list? I probably should be. Anyone know where to sign up? *br*: What's their website, anyone know?*p*Shoot, I'm politically incorrect, if you believe, as I do, that "political incorrectitude" doesn't just descrie ONE set of beliefs or even just one belief -- but anything that runs counter to the status quo of whatever group you happen to be discussing things with at the moment. *br*:*br*: Yes, I heard about the Malcolm X stamp. A Martin Luther *br*: King stamp I'd buy, and use. I'm boycotting the Malcolm X *br*: ones. However... I actually agree with some aspects of *br*: segregation (I'm going to get sh!t for this one...).*p*Which aspects, out of curiousity?? (No nasty dog poop until I get your context. I may actually agree with you at points, and where I don't, I don't. No poop involved, altho my 3 cats generate a lot of it... Since I believe there are spaces that should be, say,women's only, it stands to reason that there are spaces which should be *whatever only* -- if the reasons are sound. AND I reserve the right not to agree on specifics, and to go off and do my own thing.)*br*:*br*: Btw, Beirdd. I hear. I heard Martin Luther King, though in *br*: rerun, and I heard President Wilson and Winston Churchil, *br*: again in rerun. I hear Searles, and I even hear you. I *br*: never have heard Malcolm, and I don't hear most activists of *br*: his type. The screaming and tripe they use to get your *br*: attention destroys the message.
