Red Menace!!: The Embarassment of Dan Choi???? OR One Lazy Columnist Bitching About "Inappropriate" Activism Due to Amerikkkan Textbook History Lessons???

~The Red Menace~

Radical Feminist, Anarcha-Socialist, Lezbian Queer Dyke Cunt Lover, Secular Humanist, Activist Social Change Agent, Mestiza-Classed, Community Builder, RED MENACE!!

I'm a Public Leader, Community Organizer, and Community Builder. And I'm also an Anarcha-Socialist who fights to eliminate capitalism and other political, social, and economic hierarchies to create a society without institutions where all people have equal access to knowledge and production, emphasizes trade unions and decentralized methods of direct democracy, and finds any institutional form to be abusive. And I'm a Radical Feminist who believes the cause of women's oppression to be within patriarchy and the cause of all oppression to be in the mimicked hierarchical structures such as capitalism and amerikkkanism and globalism and colonialism and imperialism and jesusgodism which means society needs to be recreated and not changed cuz change just rearranges the same shit in a different order. And I'm a Secular Humanist who believes we got ourselves into this mess and can only rely on ourselves to get the hell out. And I'm Mestiza-Classed: the educated working-class wonder! And a Lezbian Queer Dyke Cunt Lover. An active activist social change agent iconoclastic catalyst. A VOICE with capital letters that stand tall and out and above and are heard and seen...always an outspoken mouth on the pretty face of the strong head of an independent woman. I'm an individual within the collective. And a Revolution! I'm a ReVoLuTiOn! and revolutionizer. A riotous redhead. THE Red Menace!

The Embarassment of Dan Choi???? OR One Lazy Columnist Bitching About "Inappropriate" Activism Due to Amerikkkan Textbook History Lessons???

Lt. Dan Choi Chains Self to White House in Protest Against "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and one particular gay rights columnist finds it distasteful...for stupid ass reasons!

there doesn't need to be a MLK for EVERY equal rights movement - just people who actively make it happen.
leaders can be both "militant" and "civil" - they don't have to be a cut and dry replica of either Malcom X or MLK's activist methodology. activist methodology can blend both professional public figure and outrageous activist performances - and is perhaps best when it does so!!!
history textbooks lie!!!!!!! though said history lessons make it look as though MLK was the only civil rights activist and further, that Malcom X was in opposition to MLK, the real story is that amerikkkan white men wrote the book with a bias towards MLK because they wanted to prevent the same kind of militant activism Malcom X fostered from happening again. there are many reasons for this, but people in power wanted to make sure they could handle their opposition by creating the illusion that only "civil" opposition succeeds and that it is the proper way to make change. what these books fail to acknowledge is that while Malcom X and MLK adopted opposing methodologies, the two methodologies worked together rather than in opposition for civil rights.
quit comparing EVERYONE to MLK like he did it best. others have done it well also, and that was a completely different time - you can't compare what works in the 60s to what works today!
if are embarassed by what dan choi did yesterday, get off your ass and make something happen yourself!
