Now the Democrats are "stupid," not collaborators with Republicans, the latter the conclusion that the majority of the population has already reached. The entire leadership of the Democratic party, including its putative presidential candidate, not only voted for the bill, but made it more draconian than even Bush wanted. Wake up, Pizzo. They are all in on the game. It is the mass of American people who are the targets of all this surveillance, and Obamatons want this power at least as much as the Bushies do. While no fan of Jesse Jackson, Pizzo should re-think his racist tirades before he launches. Doesn't St. Barrack's attack on black "fatherhood" smell like B. Clinton's fake fight with Sister Souljah, or his execution of a mentally retarded black man during the 1992 campaign? But more importantly, does Pizzo really think that the "crisis of the Black family" is unrelated to white racism? More than one million black men behind bars and another 3 million or so under parole supervision speak otherwise. Then there is the matter of black people still earning less than 70 percent of white salaries for the same work, the rampant unemployment in inner cities, the racial disparities in access to health care, etc., etc. Yes, there is room for personal responsibility in everyone's life, but looking at the picture more broadly, the role of racism is inescapable. But really, all black men need is some lecturing by a Harvard-educated stuffed shirt to straighten out. That will change everything. Maybe one of these days Mr. O will deign to raise the issue of the racist arrest and conviction rates of black men, of their longer prison sentences, of the fact that whites use drugs more often than blacks, yet the latter go to prison while the former get good lawyers and "divesion" programs. - PF Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:06:27 +0100
