debate separatism and the Women's round robin

[T.J. X]

First of all, I care less about props. I am not trying to win a popularity
contest with my wits, or lack thereof in this forum. I simply said that a
Womens' RR is justified because groups get to set the rules of there own
participation regardless of the dominant European trend and attitude about
what they regard to be fair, and inclusive. If females on the circuit
believe this equalizes the oppression and marginalization, so be it. Who
cares about the communities dogmatic attachment to what THEY think equality
means. Now regardless of what you think my intent to be, I have not come on
the listserv to mock or ridicule anyone as your friend Bear has. I don't
even like to respond, but the matter concerned me and I thought the
community should stop trying to articulate the rules that marginalized
peoples can live by. Your friend Bear however started spitting off about how
I was filled with hate and ignorance and hypocritical. I simply replied with
a list of literature that allows him to try to understand the African
utamawazo, he declined and sought to personally attack me, and now you sign
on. Regardless, of the personal attacks that I understand is rewarded in
this community, I am defending an fundamental aspect of my culture, and I am
not moved by this rhetorical battle. Even urban philosophers understand the
motivation and substance behind lyrical flare.
