  20. Phil,
  21.  
  22. I don't know what happened to your original message, but I for one didn't
  23. get it.  Also, it's important to realize that people receive the same
  24. message (assuming that they DO receive it!) at different times and then
  25. they may not read it for a while or answer it right away, etc.  So there
  26. are sometimes some interesting "time lags" between parts of a "conversation."
  27.  
  28. I would like to ask a couple of questions (not because I don't agree with
  29. you or want to support the status but because I would like more information
  30. about what you said, Ok?):
  31.  
  32. When you say that racisim was (is?) a conspiracy, are you saying that
  33. there is a group of people actively, consciously involved in promoting
  34. racism?  Or do you mean that people are prejudiced and act accordingly?
  35. For me, there is a big difference between these two.  Is there for you?
  36.  
  37. Do you assume that when anyone questions another person that that
  38. means that the person must hold an opposing view?  If that's the case,
  39. how can discussion take place?
  40.  
  41. Maybe you've already clarified this in a later message, which I haven't
  42. yet received.  If so, sorry.
  43.
