mafree said virutally the same thing, in that the definition of it changes over time. But I don't think the Cold War had anything to do with the overall concept.
No matter. Tell me this, then. Why did Pat add this to his article? It appears to be totally out of joint with the rest of what he was attempting to say.
I probably agree. The main message is - racism or race-based segregation is wrong, no matter who is practicing it.
The secondary message would be that these race caucuses and strategy sessions may have more to do with undermining our country culturally, by promoting a way of life and a form of government typical to today's 3d world. By identifying ideas such as 'individualism', 'liberty' and even 'capitalism' with the white race those who hate white Americans my want to undermine them by attacking 'white ideas' and ideals and replacing them with 3d World concepts such as 'group rights'.
