Re: rebel flag flap in Dixie

Chris,

For a very extreme example of self-described "Black Neo-Confederates," check
out <http://www.phalange.com/blackneo.htm>.  For a former NAACP officer
embracing the Confederate mythologies lock, stock and barrell, see
<http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/020210/leader.shtml).
There is a particularly awful story on this subject at
<http://donrey.koz.com/servlet/community_ProcServ/dbpage=page&GID=00139000000978

I think these are stupid and groundless argument, since black people are making
them, Louis suggests that I am at the edge of racism.  The arguments are no
less wrong, for all the name-calling.

If we object to flag-waving as socially reductionist, we should object no less
to reductionism of other sorts.

Solidarity!
Mark
