    Re: Wench as a word —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Note that I think Scott is speaking in the abstract here, he's not accusing Sel of being leftist per se. (...) NO WAY! You can only be a racist if you're a male WASP. Everyone else is part of the oppressed, and therefore, by definition, can't (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) part (...) I can't recall a single liberal in my acquaintance that thinks this way.

        Re: Wench as a word —Scott Edward Sanburn
   Gloria, (...) I think what Larry was saying here is when Al Sharpton called lynching on a Korean run grocery store in New York. I don't think anyone here is advocating lynching anyone, except for the types like Al Sharpton and perhaps James (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

   (...) right? (...) I know about the unrest between Korean storeowners and African-Americans.
