[Peace-discuss] Forgiveness Weekend

[Phil Stinard]

Carl, I wasnt minimizing the importance of racism in making the war in Iraq 
easier for the US to prosecute--that's pretty obvious.  I was pointing out 
that there are local racial issues as well, and yes, if you consider 
disproportionate incarceration among racial minorities to be a racial issue, 
then that's one of the issues the conference dealt with.
