Thread Name: Folk Alliance vs. NAACP
Subject: RE: Folk Alliance vs. NAACP
Dunno' why this radical thing is bothering me, but................

Yes, Mr. Hahn, perhaps we are more civilized, but we got there through action....not inaction. The people at the far ends of the political spectrum may be completely nuts and way off base to you, barbaric even, but without that skewer, you ain't got a kabob. Certainly the reasonable leftists will eventually be prompted into action as are the rightists, but the catalyst for the action comes from the far ends and not the center.

As I said before, I think the FA as a politcal organization is dead....it wasn't huge to begin with. The statement that could and should be made at this time is to the effect that if the NAACP situation is not resolved the FA will not meet there. Solidarity.........mostly lost.
