Is it your role on this channel to just sit back and hurl these sorts of
condescending posts? If that's the case, you might just want to go back to
deleting everything that everybody writes (except Chase-Dunn's
contributions).
You may not realize it, Judy, but racism and rationality are real things
that have profound effects on real people. They are historical entities
that have grown out of real historical systems. Discussing where
rationality and racism comes from, and what effects they have on real
people, is a relevant--both are very real parts of the development of the
world system and integral to the globalization process.
Your sniping from the sidelines is the epitome of wasted space.
