Re: Re: Rochester's Anti-Racist Movement Visits WHAM

1) Let's get the 1st amendment issue out of the table right now. No one is trying to take away Lonsberry's 1st amendment rights. We are demanding he be fired because, as a talk show host, he holds a *privileged* position in terms of his views. Broadcasting your (hate-filled, divisive, ignorant) views to a large segment in western NY is not a right.

2) You really should read the position paper. Then you would have understood the most glaring fallacy in your argument: not all of the girls at the young mothers program *chose* to have sex. Furthermore, no one is celebrating or encouraging teenage pregnancy. People are celebrating the hard work and dedication the women have given.

3) Again, read the position statement. It explains why ARM believes Lonsberry's statements were racist, sexist and classist. If you don't agree with the statements, then explain why. When you say, "I don't know what is classist...", I see that as being willfully ignorant, because the paper lays things out pretty clearly. Maybe I'm reading into things too much though, please prove me wrong.
