Race and GR

[LARSSON at vax1.mankato.msus.edu]

The points about the influence of Malcolm (The Real Name is Malcolm!) X on
GR are well-taken.  I'm not sure about other specific parallels, but an
interesting, albeit anachronistic one, can be found in psychiatrist Joel
Kovell's WHITE RACISM.  His observations on the relationship between
white obsession with race and obsessions with shit are very similar to the
points raised by Edwin Treacle (I think) in his ramblings about KING KONG
that no one will listen to.  I wonder if P and Kovell might have traveled
in the same circles, since WHITE RACISM was published too late to have a
direct effect as a text--but in process . . . ?

(Kovell's observations are also relevant to Brigadier Pudding)
