I'm leaning towards capitalistic. training professional killers, The Blackwater Army is one example, as are the heinous acts of torture by our troops, and shooting down in cold blood a black man on his steps by a gang of police shooting dozens of bullets at an UNARMED MAN. Deny these things, and you'll just be "Shemp doing that shit again" to most here. importing drugs The opium growers of Afghanistan are openly acknowledged by BushCo as "necessary evils" to insure that we don't have to fight these warlords while searching of Bin Laden. And this is a old old story -- the poppy fields are never sprayed with poison by a quick strike from America for instance. and creating a > racist society that would never elect a black candidate president. When I was raised, my childhood history books never showed dead blacks in nooses, dead Native Americans, etc., nor was I ever prompted to examine what was the state of racial relationships in America. It took me DECADES to undo what my school, my parents, and my society did to empower me to hate black folks and feel superior. Read one modern book about Black History and you will have all the proof of state-sanctioned jackboots on the backs of African Americans' necks. > > The Rev. Jeremiah A.

This was easy for white America to arrange via Makek's example recently posted and by the drug laws. There can be no question regarding the unfairness of how the courts treat black folks.

Well, here he's wrong since Obama looks like he might pull it off. I think we have to thank BushCo for being so obviously criminal that to white Americans, even a black Muslim seems a change for the better. > > Mr. Wright thundered on: "America is still the No. 1 killer in the > world. . . .

Don't know if America had any direct involvement in Mandela's imprisonment, but we sure didn't make it a political issue when dealing with the white racist government that jailed him.

That's a very sad note that even black pride is being eroded -- or at the least black pride is being kept from fully emerging. > > His voice rising, Mr. Wright said, "We supported Zionism shamelessly > while ignoring the Palestinians and branding anybody who spoke out > against it as being anti-Semitic. . . .

Very true. 25% of the world lives on less than a single dollar per day, and America hasn't done jackshit to assuage it except for propaganda purposes to show that white Americans have heart. > > Considering this view of America, it's not surprising that in > December Mr. Wright's church gave an award to Louis Farrakhan for > lifetime achievement.

Again, Obama's expediency is shameful. American policies around the world are so racist and lethal, that of course the world reacts in the only ways it can react -- terrorism is used because there's no armies that can match the USA's. > > Hearing Mr. Wright's venomous and paranoid denunciations of this > country, the vast majority of Americans would walk out.

Damn this article just keeps cheating with every kind of straw dog and spin.
