    IT is easy enough to say these things but
    What is all groups applied such tacticts

    Back in the 50s and before
    If after ever lynching of a black person
    Black people when out and killed every suspected Lyncher
    whether they had proof or not . . . would we be at peace now?
    Would black be suffering greater discrimination than they face now?
    Would white folx be as . . . uhm . . . .<I need a word> . . . civil toward black people?

    I'm serious. . . how would that have affected Race Relations here?

    Well organized group emerged from this anyway...the Black Panthers.

    I guess the Black Panthers are still alive and barely kicking today though. But there are people, like a guy in Houston named Quanell X. This joker comes out at every opportunity to get his mug on TV. Even though African Americans are thriving as citizens and have every bit as much opportunity and freedom as any white person, there is always going to be some fly in the ointment.

    Neither of these groups killed people like the folx in Munich
    they are/were about Self Defense
    not
    agressive operations like in Munich

    *BONK* try again . .

    They might be about self defense true, but don't think for a second that "By Any Means Necessary," means giving out hugs!

    Does anyone know if that scene where both militant groups stay in the same hotel room is true?

    off topic, but didnt feel like making a new thread but has anyone seen syriana? watched it last night. good movie but kinda confusing, kinda in the "trafic" mold. Clooney and Damon do an amazing job in the movie and also the older amir bother, dont know his name.

    The situation's different. If blacks were given an official strip of land, and the Civil Rights Act didn't exist in the rest of the US, couldn't a similar situation occur?

    My point is . . . had black folx take a more .. uhm
    aggressive stance. . one that including killing their victimizers
    I seriously doubt race relations would be as good as they are now

    Totally agree. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

    I disagree. The best movie about revenge is The Count of Monte Cristo.
