The characterization of Obama is not very informative. Yes, this is a crossroads . . . a conjuncture of the election of the first black president and a major crisis of capitalism. Those two facts are interdependent, interrelated, and quite important, but I've yet to see an insightful elucidation of the nature of that importance. Decisive in this is not the election of a black president, but the fact that Cracker America, almost half of the white electorate, voted for McCain and is out for Obama's blood. I saw a documentary last night on HBO: "Right America: Feeling Wronged": a survey of white Americans who hate Obama. These aren't just white people, these are the whitest people you ever saw, the redneck kind that make your blood run cold. The kind not shy about telling you what they think about niggers. Granted, they are dinosaurs, and hopefully they will die out soon, but not soon enough. Now the question is: how will Cracker America react to 'socialist' Obama's handling of the economic crisis?
Reply I hope that by the end - part 6, Obama's characterization is for informative. Perhaps, you are still reeling from the impact of "Right America." The political basis for "Right America" was introduced in parts of section 1 and repeated in section 2. My intent - which perhaps was not achieved, was to unfold American history in layers, as an outline, with one layer overlapping the other and then place - locate, Obama as this history and this stage of financial and economic crisis. Ralph, you an autodidactic, meaning whatever I write is going to fall short, because you are way beyond the basic underlying concepts of this series - in the main. Yet, this series contains some theoretically challenging propositions, hopefully in a popular form. The whole series was written some time ago and run on Marxist Debate, but it was a first version and this rewrite and editing try and clarify Obama more. I will definitely go over 3 and 4 several more times and run them tomorrow. 5 and 6 on the last day of the month. " the whitest people you ever saw," ;-) Ralph, I live in Florida for Christ Sake, a place I vowed to never in life visit much less live and this was because of the historical treatment of the Seminoles, perhaps the only tribe not signing a peace treaty and their intertwining history with escaped slaves. Where I am at in not a Detroit or Philly by a long shot. Now U C why I B say'in Unite or Perish! ;-) WL. **************Get a jump start on your taxes.
