Not true. I questioned your language not for its lack of political
correctness but for it's reductionism and the racist (not the
politically incorrect) overtones that reducing a complex class struggle
to a "race riot" imply. Recall that one of the narrators of GR chides
Marx for doing the same. And with good reason. 

Also, I agree with all that Jbor wrote in his critique. as one of the
advocates for turning the pynchon list into a political discussion board
surely you understand that you need to toss out that black and white
view of the world that you try to get us to accept. doug can get away
with it because he believes it with a religious zeal that is not worth
disputing. barb can get away with it because she's not a very
sophisticated political head. but you! mike weaver, you can't get away
with it. try again?
