This statement to me is the same as saying "The KKK are on their way... they will make their presence known (wink wink, translation: violence) and we should focus on laws and legislation....."

Inherent within that statement is a woefully ignorant understanding of historical occurrences, or perhaps it is purposely overly dramatic in attempt to appeal to emotion. In any case, the Brown Berets, unlike the KKK, are not associated with lynching their fellow man.

The violence perpetrated and advocated by the white supremacist organization (the KKK) cannot be honestly compared with the Brown Berets.

Within your statement is an inherent ignorance of the history of violence being used to suppress the civil rights of others. Just because the BB do not use lynching does not mean there is no comparison. The BBs have had their share of blood works.

this whole thread seems a bit petty... I'd just assume the DD person be banned if the board sees fit, but to have people go on and on and on rediculing this person, and just having a big laugh out of it seems a bit, well, counter productive.
