This is viciously untrue. The program director and general manager of WBAI
are both black, and my sense from walking around the place is that whites
represent only about half the producers and volunteers. One could make many
critiques of the station, but this description of its sociology as well as
content is completely ignorant of the facts.

Godena, you're a sad case. You seem like a smart, politically sophisticated
guy, but there's some deep resentment of the world that poisons it all.
