The Fox talking heads call Obama supporters hysterical..thats fucking ridiculous.

As an Anglo..your the one all hung up on slavery. I believe most people have moved forward from that era into the modern era where racism still exists only more subtly.

I’m not clear on any point you are trying to make here. I think you are not clear on your historical analysis and the comparative analysis with today’s current geopolitical climate.

The infrastructure for our country was flawed, and is flawed. That’s why the founding fathers built in a method for changing it by adding amendments to the Constitution. Who is blaming you for slavery? The fact remains that slavery was perpetrated, and those who descend from slaves don’t operate on the same playing field as you do. I’m not going to get into a complex discussion with you because your arguments tend to border on knee jerk reactions rather than plausible and well defined reasoning.

I’ll just recommend two books to you by the same author. I fully expect that you will not bother to check these out of the library and read them, but shoot, that won’t stop me from trying. Cornel West wrote “Race Matters” a long while back. It’s a great book and reaches down the throat of racism in ways that are too complex for us to disect here. His follow up “Democracy Matters” is an awesome sequel and does great justice to place modern democracy within the context of the complex historical picture.

Of course, your hero as a President is the most intelligently simple person you can wrap a flag around. so, I don’t expect you to venture out of your own small sphere to read some material that you may grow or be challenged by.

But I dare you to read them….no I double dog dare you to read them. Then come back and let’s have a dialog about race and democracy. Perhaps you will have something more interesting to add to the discourse.

Is that actual news? Hell no..hence it’s nothing more than nationalism.
