Ray was speaking on the Sunday panel on NATO, at the Conference on U.S. Foreign Bases in Baltimore (Jan. 12-14).  Running through the earlier talks was the pivotal role played by white supremacy and racism.

But only when Ray sat down Saturday night to finish preparing his own talk did it dawn on him that NATO just happens to be all white — by attitude as well as geography.  (Ray had been thinking of himself as enlightened, conscious, and alert to such things!  Duh.)
