Hate In The Box
by Vince Bushell
It seems as if recently Riverwesters have been channeling Germany in the late ’30s with Maxists fighting Nazis. Racism has raised it’s ugly head and the Wobblies are trying to chop it off.

And that dance that looks like humping, well…that’s Mother Africa at work in her blood. But I know better. Mother Africa wasn’t a raunchy showgirl.
