I lived the first few years of my life in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, "the
atomic city."  It was (to the best of my knowledge) developed to be
segregated, with the mostly white engineers in one part of town and the
mostly Black workers in another.  So the link between 'energy' and
'racism' isn't entirely imaginary.

My friend Kirby Urner [1] has also made me aware of a link between
'mathematics' and 'racism' in regards to how Buckminster Fuller's work
has been kept out / left out of academia.  Fuller's synergetic
mathematics appears sound, but his other ideas - particularly that
'race' is a unscientific - are too radical for existing studies.  Rather
than confront such ideas, the educational powers that be keep his work
out in its entirity.  I'm paraphrasing Kirby here, not quoting, but
somewhere on his WWW page there is more on this very subject.  I'm sure
he'll follow this up with an URL...
