The New Mainstream

Assimillation might begin with the elimination of the divisive "M" word: "minority" (Newsweek used it liberally).It lumps together people of different ethnicities who have differing perspectives and problems, and it sets up an unreasonable opposite: "Whites." Whites in America consist of a diverse collection of mostly European tribes, many of whom do not get along to this day. In truth America is the land of minorities and to use that name only for those of darker skin color is a disservice to the principles we espouse so loudly.

I don't want to hear anymore crap about whites keeping blacks down. A black man in the oval office renders that argument moot.

Barack Obama is not a product of the black culture Patterson is talking to. Although many more blacks voted in this election than ever before, this election was not an emphatic declaration by the black community that they are publicly integrated. Obama is a black man who does not necessarily represent the historical black community whose political success was more attributable to the turnout of youth, latinos, and males than any triumph of african americans.

I greatly admire Orlando Patterson and his master work Freedom was always my favorite work. However, I do feel Patterson is way too charitable to the man who disgraces our $ 20 dollar bill - Andrew Jackson.

First of all, Andrew engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide. He expelled all of the Cherokee to Okalhoma. Thousands of Cherokee died on the trail of tears. Worse, even though Supreme Court Justice John Marshall ruled in favor of the Cherokee, Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court decision. Jackson's ethnic cleansing inspired Slobodan Milosovic of the former Yugoslavia, not to mention the ethnic cleansings of Sudan and Darfur. Let's also add Adolf Hitler to Andrew Jackson's list of star students.

Secondly, Andrew Jackson owned slaves. Apologists claim that Andrew Jackson was "kind" to his slaves. I"d just suggest that these apologists read American classics such as Uncle Tom's Cabin or Toni Morrison's Beloved. The themes behind both of these novels is that there is no such thing as a "kind" slave owner. In fact, the "kindest" slave owners are really the cruelest.

Equally misguided were Andrew Jackson's scatterbraided decision to eliminate the US Bank, which led to a massive depression, and his philosophy of spoilys system politics which issued an era of unprecedented corruption remedied only by the establishment of a non-partisan civil service.

I'd strongly suggest we find a replacement for Andrew Jackson on our $ 20 bill.

Intersting that second generation Asians and Hispanics are assimilating. I just moved to Chicago a year ago from LA and I am APALLED by the RACIAL SEGREGATION of the city.........
I'm an atty and it is OK to mingle during work but at the end of the day my black perrs (the few that are atty's) go back to "their" neighborhoods.
They may make $150,000 a year but STILL live in predominately Black neighborhoods in Hyde Park and on the South Side of Chicago.
What this article also does not mention is that Black have the highest # of AIDS cases as well as highest crime rates. i beleive that most people deal with Black a certain way because of these statistics. People are just protecting themselves. A lot needs to change in the Blackk community also. A lot of poor Blacks need to get rid of the notion that the US OWES them something because of slavery.

ASians and Hispanics are rapidly thinning out the black population in CA especially SoCal. Compton was once a black stronhold neighborhood but is noe mostly Hispanic.

And how do you deaql with other Blacks encouraging the black youth to live a negative lifestyle as influenced through music, movies and the behavior of Athletes

Obama's plan for jobs on Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other coal producting states, and Obama's plan for dealing with the high cost of energy, including electricity generation.

An audiotape of an interview Barack Obama did in January 2008 with The San Francisco Chronicle has surfaced in the final days of the presidential campaign. On the tape Obama tells the interviewer how he will use environmenal laws to kill the Coal industry,

"so if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can ... It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

Also says he's policy will cause price of electricity to skyrocket.

Now, why would Obama say that in San Francisco and not Pennsylvania? We've seen him do that before, right? Something about guns and religion.

And why did Newsweek take their story on the Pennsylvania campaign down Sunday after this story broke?

This post is about the article...for a change..
Most non-racists americans don't have a problem voting for such an incredibly intelligent, well spoken and democratic human being as Obama. The problem, I think, is that the african americans population are the ones making this campaign a racial issue, not the other way around.
By Obama winning the election, means something different for the majority of the african american voters. It is not necessarily because facts have been researched on one candidate and the other on the issues that matter....but, merely, the only issue is to elect the first african american president.
Luckily, I think, we have the right candidate to take us to the difficult times ahead of us. Obama has promised to fairly raise taxes to the welathy in order to be able to pay for the federal programs and try to reduce the debt (the money has to come from somewhere). The healh care plan... most of us think it needs more twinking and less nationalization but more accessability. Regarding the nationl security, I am going to trust Biden, our defense forces, the congress and senate to advise and help our nation recover our respect but at the same time continue our responsibilities with our allies. I believe that diplomacy has proven to go a long way. the economy? democrats and republicans alike have made this mess happen. Therefore, republicans and democrats must work together in fixing it.
I just hope Obama delivers what he promises rather than this nation finding out the hard way...that Reverend Wright was telling us the truth, that Obama's reference to this grandmother being racist was heartfelt (rest in peace).. that Obama's liason with Bill Ayers and the PLO was very real...
Note: My point about majority of african american voting for Obama and the reason has been researched and polls have been taken..is not an opinion.

Comment: In this deceitful American game of power politics, ture Black Americans are nothing but tools, used by one group of whites called Liberals against another group of whites called Conservatives, either to get into power or to remain in power. Among whites here in America, the political teams are no longer divided into Democrats and Republicans. The whites who are now struggling for control of the American political throne are divided into "liberal" and "conservative" camps. The white liberals from both parties cross party lines to work together toward the same goal, and white conservatives from both parties do likewise.
The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as friend of blacks and its benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Blacks, the white liberal is able to use this race of people as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.
So what do I feel about Barack (Barry) Obama , I think the chickens need to come home to roost and justice will begin to unfold on those who have mislead to get ahead in this political arena of lies. Barack is dirty he has use every trick in the book and now he will be president to a system of lies and greed. As far as race goes this man will never in my lifetime be equal to me and my status of a Black American, and I think race need to do it part in sheading light on people like Barry Obama. I just hope he suffer the same faith as others before him has when you cheat to get ahead..........in the most sustainable way. Justice will be when Obama faces his own chicken and the rooster sounds off on anything that he touches. When his oversize ego catches up with him and his followers then and only then will justice prevails.....I wish him nothing but misery and defeat and if liberal Americans are willing to follow him, they too shall be dismissed. Maybe we can get lucky and we can remember him one day.

The problem with Obama is a simple one. One association does not a radical make. But in Obama's case, the list of left-wing radical mentors and associates is seemingly endless, (Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi , etc., etc.) with a new revelation practically every day. With that trend, a picture begins to emerge, and that picture is that Obama is as steeped, not in just left-wing political thought, but in radical left-wing economic and race ideology, to the same extent that Pat Robertson was steeped in the ideology of the radical Religious Right. I would not have voted for Pat Robertson for dog catcher, and for similar reasons, I will not vote for Obama.

In the exchange with "Joe the plumber" Obama unintentionally revealed that he really is as radical as his early political mentors and acquaintances, Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi etc., (gee, there sure seem to be a lot of them) and that he is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Now there is absolute proof. In 2001, Obama, the "community organizer" turned legislator, said in an interview:

"And I think one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the civil rights movement became so court-focused, I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and organizing activities on the ground that are able to bring about the coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still suffer from that,"

2001 Chicago Public Radio Interview.

Obama's tax and spending plans alone would be bad enough, but add Reid and Pelosi to the mix, with the three of them controlling both houses of Congress and the executive branch without any effective restraint, and you have something that should causes concern even among moderate Democrats.
See Wall Street Journal: A Liberal Supermajority:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122420205889842989.html

Indeed, some democrats are publically saying as much. See Barney Franks comments on the news, including face the nation last week, stating essentially that Democrats in Congress intend to greatly raise taxes and go on a spending spree.

See http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/23617.html

Obama's ill-conceived programs will require him to tax, and his health care plan alone is a substantial hidden tax on all business, large an small. In reality, it does not really matter who he taxes, those taxes are going to be passed through the economy. He has to tax, because it is they only way he can pay for his massive social engineering experiments. Any first year economics student knows that taxation is a tool used to contract an economy experiencing inflation, because it reduces demand by reducing the amount of money individuals and businesses have to spend. It is contractionary, which is exactly what you do not want to do when the problem is that the economy is contracting already into recession. Like Hoover and FDR, Obama's plans will only make it worse for longer.

Obama and a supermajority of Democrats simply is not the change we need, nor is it change we can afford.

The McCain Campaign:

John McCain has proven himself in this campaign to be an angry low road politician who failed miserably to show himself to be a fair and decent individual, with the stature to rise to the Office of the Presidency. And, as for Palin? What great judgement.

Leading a campaign that (even though major news orgs constantly debunked his ads) almost exclusively resorted to the constant barrage of outright lies, distortions, and the sleaziest of attack ads. Showing himself, instead, to be a little man, he displays a nasty, divisive and confrontational attitude with limited vision and dimension of thinking. He is minimally accomplished as a statesman and, as shown by his own actions, is conspicuously absent of the temperament and the diplomatic and leadership skills necessary to adequately represent and lead this nation in promoting international respect and cooperation on the future world stage.

The United States can do much better than John McCain, On Tuesday, I am betting a majority of the nation will agree.

This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended

http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323

Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.

...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.

Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.

After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.

Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.
