Comment in question Re: The Key to Race: Depoliticize It Written by jlandrith , on 16-10-2000 06:45 You said: "As long as officials of public trust and institutions use and misuse their positions, administrative techniques and outright lawlessness to impose white supremacist theory to actively harm children, as is the case today in this nation, disparity exists proportionate with the corruption used to impose racial hatred. "The Key to Race:Depoliticize It" neatly and cleanly ignores the active use of racial hate crime activity within government and institutions today as Marxist-Leninist Communists use specious arguments to discount their own dirty linen." Sheldon Richman made his thoughts on government imposed discrimination very clear when he said: "If the government treats some people differently from others because of their race, that violates the rule of law, which includes the idea of equality under the law. The Jim Crow regime violated that principle, so good riddance to it." George, nowhere in that piece does Richman call for legalizing "racial hate crime activity." If by "racial hate crime activity" you mean - destruction of personal property, assault, death threats, theft, etc. then you are incorrect in trying to tie them to the piece. They are not relevant to the piece, as it is not about crime. The actions described above are illegal regardless of whether are not the target is of any particular "racial" group. These activities are illegal by themselves and covered more than adequately by local, state and federal laws. That doesn't necessarily mean that anyone will enforce these laws. People get screwed over by the justice system daily as it is subject to corrupt politicians, prosecutors and judges, but that has nothing to do with what he was talking about.
