Subject: RE: Rock Against Racism 1978 anniversary
Thanks for starting this thread. I wasn't aware of Rock Against Racism till I read the links you provided.

And to prove that constant vigilance is needed against racism, I just posted a link to this thread on this Mudcat thread because of what I consider to be an offensive little ditty that was posted by a guest today [Just in case you visit that thread and don't want to be sucker punched by coming upon it by surprise, it was the third example that guest cass posted. Guest Cass's post appears before my comment whose link is provided here:

"Naughty kids' greatest hits II"

**

This isn't a big deal, but I still felt the need to write that statement. One of the reasons I felt the need to do so was that I don't want people visiting that Mudcat thread to read some "naughty children's rhymes" to think that people who are Mudcat members and regular guests condone that type of rhyme and the attitudes and beliefs it embodies.

I'm sorry to muddy up this thread with an indirect link to that putrid garbage. But maybe doing so demonstrates part of how I put into action my recognition that eternal vigilance is indeed needed against racism.
