Yo, GUEST, GUEST...

Chill...

UI never associated SNNC with violence... If so, show me the post where I did so!!!

I did, however, associate the Black Panther Party with violence becuase of the "guns" that the Black Panters weren't shy about showing...

I did speak about the Philly chapter and how the "guns" being shown gave Police Chief Pig Rizzo the perfect opportunity to bust into the local Black Panther headquarters, make the folks in there strip naked and march them thru the street s ofm Philly ... Yeah, I did say that and I stand behind it...

I had lotta friends in SNNC and organized stuff with them and never thought of them as preaching violence... Never...

What, just because I happened to allign more with SCLC that makes me a SNNC or SOC hater???

That is copmpletely fu*ked up!!!

I also had close contacts with SDS... I had meetings in Charlottesville with Bill Kunstler and Jerry Rubin...

I brought not onlt the Black Panthers from Cicago but also the White Panters from Ann Arbor to Richmond to help them try to organize...

So before you go calling me so white Uncle Friggin' Tom yer-grandfathers-civil-rights activist, get your story right!!!

I supported everyone who was in the movement... I did not support guns or violence... As rector of Virginia Commonweath University's "Radical Student Union" I threw out two friginn' J. Edgar Hoover ***plants*** who tried to get the RSU to burn the universtity's president house... Had they won over the RSU and carried out the burning then VCU might have been the next Kent State... Instead, we were able to organize a massive student strike with thousands of kids demonstarting against the war... That was more meaningful than havin' a couple kids shot trying to burn down a friggin' house...

Now, GUEST, GUEST, you may think that we should have had a couple kids shot rather than mobilizing some 5000 kids and if that is your opinion then we differ as much today as we would have differed back then... We weren't going to stop the war by alienating people... Demand??? Yes... Alienate??? No...

I am proud to say that thru demanding that my very Republican Nixonite father finally came around and marched in the Moritorium...

That is and was the power of non-violence...

So, bottom, line, if thru violence you think we can change the world, in the words of John Lennon, "count this ol hillbilly out"...

Plus, if you think thru vilence that you can change the world you have some company on Penn Ave... So does Bush...

Peace
