But I wanted to be a Moloch...
Oh well.

A pitchfork party sounds kind of cool!
As a sociologist, I'm really interested to hear why you think race is a dying issue.
This was actually the subject of a really scathing anthropological article I read. It was for a class, don't think I'm some kind of worthwhile person who pursues knowledge for its own sake or anything.
Anyway, the gist of it goes that people will claim not to be racist and that their prejudgements aren't based upon race, but by a
curious co-incident correlation that has nothing to do with race (of course) but just so happens to fall along those lines.
It is also commonly argued that their racist attitudes are not based upon race, but upon cultural differences (especially based on economic divisions). Unfortunately, these same attitudes and long-standing practices (which reinforce one-another) within the mechanisms, through which even the white under-privileged were (but not anymore, THANKS W!) able to amass some wealth to pass on to their children, are essentially exploitive barriers to the advancement of the even less-privileged.
Or so the argument goes. I'm going to see if I've still got it on my machine (I should) and pass it on to you if you're interested.
