to do ANYTHING "inclusive" without destroying capitalism. Capitalism is inherently divisive, and (as we've seent ime and time again) has pit brother against brother too many times.

see above (capitalism also has a nasty way of linking itself up with a number of other exclusionary "isms" to create larger webs of oppression)

As implied from the above statements, I'm not so sure that there is any way that true justice can be had within the capitalist system. Now is "receiving a fare shake" the same thing as doing away with oppression ... no. I'm sure that certain African-Americans can "succeed" within the capitalist system, but at what cost are people willing to make this sacrifice?
