Sunday, February 17, 2008 Barack Obama and the "End" of Racism (17 comments)
Obama doesn't represent peace he represents an expansion of war and the power of Empire. He's more extreme on this than Bush himself, except in his public rhetoric. He doesn't represent the real and legitimate needs, desires and hopes of Black people - he refuses to speak openly of the most fundamental issues affecting Black people. He doesn't represent the "end of racism," but the perpetuation of oppression in a new guise.
