Subject: RE: BS: Bobert's Race Thread
It is and it isn't, WYSIWYG.

First of all, I did not use the word race in my post. The term I used was "exploited peoples". My point in this thread is that one thing we can do to help remedy the problems for African Americans that have been created by slavery and intitutionalized racism, is to give those who have been the vicitms of this the best education possible. Head Start can help to do this. It can also help to neutralize some of the harmful effects of exploitation of other peoples as well, and that is a good thing, but it is irrelevant to the point I was trying to make in my post. I don't understand why that would need to be an issue or even need explaining. It seems kind of obvious to me.
