I was the one who posted the initial thread on this topic, and I
cross-posted it to eight different UseNet groups, since I thought
readers on all these groups might have something to say:

alt.politics.white.power
alt.discrimination
alt.politics.equality
alt.politics.correct

talk.politics.theory
talk.philosophy.misc
sci.psychology
sci.anthropology

I think I may have misspelled one or more of the names, since I
don't recall seeing it on t.p.m. (No one caught the misspelling, so the
list of newsgroups just got repeated automatically.) I have been
following the thread on a.p.w.p. and just run my cursor over the thread
on t.p.t., which I'm also now following. I'm not following the other
threads at the moment.
Just now, I noticed that the subject title is in all caps; so I
decided to take a peek. I suspect you did not use the automatic reply
method, just typed in the thread title yourself, and posted it only to
t.p.t. This cuts down drastically on the chance someone would have
replied to what you had to say. So, I have redone the list of newsgroups
and thread title in making this response. You should repost your
thoughts now. I only hope that you had addressed the precise question of
the title, since quite a number of responses on what is proving to be a
very provocative thread have wandered into other matters and to
responses and counter-responses to those matters.
