For years, the complaint is near universal in our ranks that we need to get minority communities in on the ground floor in shaping our activities.
Even if these threads, we've had 'white liberals' thrown at us.
Now, we we've done things a little differently, and changed that, and have some results to report, we're now 'using race'.
Pitiful.
Ask yourself, who else would go to these organizations, suggesting that they can't think for themselves, and are being 'used' in the 'white' antiwar movement?
I know there are many trend in these communities as well as anyone. And we're working with a number of them, but the only place I hear this sort of thing from is here.
Again, listen to yourself, listen to the dissing of Finney, whatever his housing role, as an antiwar ally, and you'll see the problem, won't you. Would you turn T.W.O. away or make hurdles for then to jump other than ending the war?
Find another argument, because this one will only hurts your case, not ours. Even better, drop it, get on board, and bring your criticisms on your placards and banners to the march and rallies.
Have yet to hear that the Oct. 27th Mobilization has accquired the endorsements and participation of Dr. Conrad Worrill from the National Black United Front, Rev. Al Sampson of the Fernwood United Methodist Church, Rev. Paul Jakes of Old Saint Paul's Missionary Baptist Church, Akua Njeri, Fred Hampton Jr, and a host of others. No doubt the Mobilization has secured the support of all of these respected civil rights, anti-police brutality and Black liberation figures many who have spoken and mobilized at previous antiwar rallies. Then there's the Reverend Al Sharpton of the National Organizing Network.
So why not list those churches, mosques and additional 'mass organizations 'on the South and West Sides who've signed on board as of today? Three weeks out. I looked for their endorsements on your website, and they appear to be absent.
