   Check out this website www.minoritiesinterests.com which is set up to give minorities the opportunities of getting to know one another and giving us the opportunities of talking about our cultures, appreciating our differences, instead of relying on mainstream media that is careless whether or not we get along, actually the plan is making sure we don’t.

   The website is also set up to inform the minorities about negative things happening to us so we can stick together in the spirit of united we stand. I hope you will send some of your write ups to us for publication.

   I just added chat, it will be nice to have you come there once in a while.

   Afghanistan’s Booming Opium Poppy Crop Proves U.S. “War on Drugs” to be Phony.

   Greetings,

   For the past 20 something years, starting with Nancy Reagan’s “Just say no”, dreamworld nonsense, a “War on drugs” has been declared by the U.S. government; So says the U.S. government.

   However, the so-called “War on drugs”, surprisingly, turned out to be a “War on impoverished, minority and poor white communities. The U.S. borders are wide open, and BILLIONS of dollars admittedly being made by “someone”, yet the guy on the corner, with over $1,000 dollars worth of crack cocaine are the ones going down the road for 30 years. I didn’t read this in some book; I have friends that are rotting in jail for doing what C.I.A. officials do frequently at parties.

   Oh, so you’ve already forgotten how C.I.A. operatives reportedly had COCAINE and prostitutes at parties where high stakes poker games were played, and business discussed. Do your research, and make me out to be a liar. Liars get sued for slander, but since I’m telling the truth, as always, I’m not losing ANY sleep tonight. By the way, where would C.I.A. operatives get cocaine? From the Washington, D.C. ghetto? I don’t think so.

   Anyway, there’s more current, damning evidence that the so-called “War on drugs” is a big joke. In Afghanistan, the opium poppy crop is BOOMING. The troops in Afghanistan know EXACTLY where the poppies are. Wouldn’t a government, that’s already supposedly fighting a “War on terrorism” destroy the opium poppies, which are converted to heroin, and fuel domestic terrorism by street gangs in Amerikkka?

   Well, in case you wondered, George Bush hasn’t dropped as much as a firecracker on the opium poppies, much less bombs that would wipe out the crops. Why? Because the criminals at the top, especially in police departments, have too much to lose.

   Police departments allow drug dealers to accumulate what they feel is their full economic worth. Then a bust is made. A “nigger” is taken off the streets, but more importantly, SEIZURES OF CASH AND PROPERTY WORTH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE MADE. We’ve all seen the auctions of cars “seized from drug dealers” being advertised in newspapers.

   Additionally, the drug addict population remains constant, and their arrest for petty crimes lands them in local, city jails. These jails offer them reduced sentences in exchange for their free labor. The slave master’s children are making their ancestors proud. Free labor done by inmates decreases the costs of city maintenance fees, and tax cuts for the rich crackers can more easily be delivered by local politicians.

   This is how the south works. Correction, this is how the victims of the “War on drugs” work, and provide free labor for today’s slave master.

   So, let the poppies continue to grow, Mr. Bush.

   We understand, dude. We understand.

   HOW DRUGS DESTROY HUMAN LIFE.

   Due to the recent, untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith, the time is ripe to discuss how drugs slowly, but ALWAYS surely, destroy the people who use them.

   Before discussing how drugs destroy human life, a brief summary about what constitutes a living thing is due. We’d all agree that living things have bodies, but sometimes we fall short of recognizing that not every living thing lives in a body that is its own. Some things, such as viruses, do not become “real” living entities until they find a host. Once they’ve entered a host, they take on some of the characteristics of the host (to the detriment of the host).

   Viruses have individual biochemicals properties, therefore, they displace different characteristics within a living host, like any other population. Some are stronger than others. Some live longer than others. Some are messy. Some are quite clean, quiet, and their presence is hardly noticed, at first. However, regardless of origen, they all have the same agenda; to steal, kill, and destroy the host, so that they may live.

   There’s no such a partition in existence that gives rise to a “living” vs. “non-living” world. Life goes in cycles. This rule applies to drugs, also. They are cyclical in that they go through active and dormant stages. They’re dormant in plastic baggy’s, and they spring to life inside a body.

   Another notable thing about drugs is that they are notoriously jealous personalities. What are they jealous of? Anything that gives you joy in life. If something gives you enough joy in life, you’ll ignore drugs, because you don’t need them to make your life interesting. If a drug has to compete with your spouse, or family member, or children, or your own health, it will do so until it destroys them. After it destroys them, destroying you is a downhill task.

   In truth, a drug wan’ts more than your undivided attention; it wants to be loved by you. It wants you to sacrifice EVERYTHING for it, including your soul. If someone ever says something about vampires being “make believe” in your presence, say b###@@@@….beeswax!

   Here’s another perspective. If someone were to roll a wheelchair up to you, and in that wheelchair was one who’d taught many people to be wise, but now they lacked arms, legs, sight, hearing, or the ability to talk, what would you call this person?

   A book.

   Life=Information. Period. The vessels through which information travels differ, but living things share some common characteristics, many of which are evil. Have you ever met a drug addicted person that was NOT also a great liar? Once in a person, drugs constantly tell a user so many lies that, over time, the user begins to believe that the lie being told is the truth. Then, they begin to tell others what drugs have convinced them to be the truth. “Man, I’m not a big-enough fool to let this stuff ruin my life.” “I have a family, this, that, and the other.”

   The sad thing is that they really mean what they say, but drugs are the ultimate deceivers. No drug addict is as smart as the drug they’re addicted to; the drugs just allow addicts to think they’re the horse pulling the cart, when, in reality, things are the other way around.

   Drugs cannot live within a culture without destroying a sizable number of people within the culture. You don’t have to use drugs to be destroyed by them. The users are not the ones, usually, who go “down the road” for 10, 15, 25 years…………………..to life. For every user who physically hurts someone, at least twice as many dealers hurt (or have someone hurt) a person who owes them money.

   Drugs corrupt police departments. Remember how the authorities said (regarding poor Anna), “at this time, the investigation is still ongoing.” What you have to realize is that all of these small islands are nothing but fronts for foreign millionares caught-up in the drug trade. The police are just giving the shadowy characters time to get their stories together, and enough time to approach them with “hush money.”

   This is what really happened in the Natalie Holloway case. I’m one of the few people who thinks she’s still alive. By now, however, she’s so drugged out that she wouldn’t return if she had the chance. It’s called sex slavery. If you think is easy smuggling Mexicans INTO the U.S., think about how easy it would be for someone to smuggle a couple of blondes OUT of the U.S., inside of someone’s trunk. Blondes sell for about $10,000.00 each in Africa and the Middle East.

   So, my friends, if you want to ruin you life, it’s not hard. It’s fun in the beginning, whether you’re a user or a dealer. You’ll both find yourself constantly “flying” to new destinations, mental destinations for some; physical destinations for others. You’ll meet some of the most evil people you’ll ever wan’t to come close to. The trade-off for all the fun, however, is early death.

   Leave drugs alone. You never will be more clever than they are, but they cannot use you like a dirty mop unless YOU choose to let them do so.

   The greatest high is clean living, and the acquisition of REAL knowledge. Pursue those things, and you’ll have more than the drug user, or dealer, EVER will.

   (The following passage was written in the spirit of humor. I hope you enjoy it).

   WE ARE WHAT WE EAT; PLEASE, LEAVE THAT DAMN SWINE FLESH ALONE.

   Okay. The time has come for me to relax a little, and have some fun.

   Most of the creatures that call Earth “home” have a diet that they have a particular affinity towards. Exceptions are made during rare instances where drought, sickness, or starvation threaten them with hunger pains, and eventual death.

   There are two creatures, however, that seem to go out of their way to sample, taste, and eat literally anything. Because these two creatures eat filth, it should be no surprise that they are two of the filthiest animals occupying the earth.

   Additionally, animal number (1) LOVES to eat animal number (2). Animal number two is the infamous swine, the filthy, prehistoric half rat, half possum that we call “hogs.” Now, if animal number two is so bad, and it is devoured regularly by animal number one (which you all know refers to we humans), then what does this say about us????????

   Now, let’s examine some of the things we humans sample, and eat, not cause we need to, but because we’re hogs, and we WANT to eat everything that moves. If we could fly, we’d give buzzards good competition. If we were two inches tall, we’d put the rats and roaches out of business.

   Let’s see, the rich white folks are fond of “escargo” (which negros call “snails”), and “caviar”, which we nigros call “fish eggs.” During slavery, white folks gave us what was left of the hogs they ate, and we made all sorts of goodies out of them: hog balls (don’t get you specs, you read correctly). The white folks call them “mountain oysters.” The gave us the guts, and made us feel special by saying we were getting “chitterlings.” Then, there are scorpions, grasshoppers, get my drift? Ohhhhh, I’d never eat any of those………………and soon as nobody is looking, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp away we go, until our jaws are sore, and our cheeks need a Ben-Gay rub.

   Science has recently proven that our first cousin, the pig, has flesh that has a higher nitrite content than other meats. I don’t remember what nitrites do (I strongly expect that they’re bad for the heart and coronary arteries), but to all you non-Muslims.

   Ahhhhhhh haaaaaaaaaa! We told you so.

   Now, you may finish eating that hotdog in peace. I can hear it oinking in your intestines.

   WHY I STOPPED SMOKING MARIJUANA; A.K.A. ” REEFER ”

   Greetings,

   Every now-and-then, it’s good to see someone that you can imagine being if you hadn’t changed something about your life at some earlier period in time. Well, I had one of these “reality checks”. I thank almighty Allah that, after 15 years (from age 15 to 30), I quit smoking reefer (not counting a few “slip-ups).

   I recently saw a brother I used to smoke reefer with. His eyes were so bloodshot that I almost slammed on my brakes, thinking he was a traffic light that had turned red. He’s just as smart and articulate (in a street kind of way, like I once was ) as he used to be. However, not a damn thing has changed about him, for better or worse. So if there is an argument for not smoking weed, aside from the carcinogens it contains, it ZAPS motivation.

   I have to say that reefer is the greatest afrodesiac, ever. It contributes to the economy; who do you think buys up most potato chips, visine, and those meat things made out of cow tongues? And if you need a good laugh, oh boy.

   I was once riding along a country road, and the group of guys I was riding with were smoking reefer. I held my breath until they finished. Then, we happened to see some cows that had broken out of a pasture. Guess what? Instead of running off into the wild, blue yonder, those big fools stood OUTSIDE the fence, and stuck their heads back into the damn pasture to eat.

   I must have laughed at those dumb cows for a week straight. I made sure that every teacher in “get-high” school heard about that experience. All the teachers smoked weed, so telling them the full story was fun.

   Anyway, oh, I just thought about something else. When I was in college, a weed-smoking, slack roomate, who successfully tempted me to smoke some “kind bud” on two occasions, left his bedroom door open. In the middle of the floor was the biggest damn pile of drawls (underwear) that I’d ever seen. It looked like one of those African termite mounds. When asked for an explanation, this fellow physics major explained that when he ran out of dirty underwear, instead of washing the dirty underwear, he’d just go out and buy new underwear. After a while, all of those drawrrls stacked up.

   The first night I saw this, I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room for laughing too hard. Even the damn dog and cat we kept looked like they were laughing at that big ass pile of underwear (or laughing at me).

   Finally, dude put the dirty drawls in the washing machine. Problem was that dude didn’t bother to get the wet drawers out of the washing machine for a couple of days. They molded the fuck up, and he ended up rewashing the underwear, TWICE.

   Once again, I negotiated going to the hospital.

   If you smoke weed, please, be wary of subtly becoming a person with low motivation. Luckily, we can learn from observation, rather than experience. Just look at the lack of motivation some weed smokers have. A real possibility exists that you MAY look back one day and wish you had used some incentive to do great things.

   Thanks kindly for reading these few words,

   WEST VIRGINIA’S PALE-FACE SAVAGES INDICATE THAT IT’S TIME FOR US TO TAKE A LONG LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

   Greetings, and power to the people,

   Anyone whose brain prompts them to read the newspaper, or watch the news every now-and-then, knows that a savage attack, including rape, forced ingestion of rat feces, cutting, bruising, beating, burning, and drinking out of a toilet, was inflicted upon a defenseless Black sister by a bunch of Cro-Magnon savages.

   Sounds familiar? Ever heard of Emmit Till? Ever heard of Sean Bell? Have you heard about the lynching that recently occured in Florida in some so-called “boot camp” for troubled youth? Remember the cowardly shooting, by Atlanta police, of the 91-year-old Grandmother (peace be upon her)? If anything is evident, our presence as people of Color is, in the most literal sense, under attack.

   Please, tell me something; Why in the hell should any of this surprise us? There exists an immutable Law of the Universe which states that “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes forms.” Human beings are full of differing types of energy; biochemical energy, electromagnetic energy, and information encoded within our DNA. There’s one paricular type of energy, however, that we would be wise to make ourselves aware of. Energy inherited from our ancestors.

   Yes, of course, there’s a such thing as “individual identity”, but there also exists “GROUP IDENTITY.” The way some humans behave as INDIVIDUALS, and the energy inherent within that behavior, is TRUMPED, TOTALLY TRUMPED by the energetics that manifest itself in group identity.

   Now, what does all of the above “fantastic foolishness” mean, assuming it is nothing more than foolishness? It simply means that culture is a form of energy, and if it can be proven that certain groups possess a barbaric history, and an impotent ability to treat people unlike themselves with dignity, then one would have to be a fool to be caught off guard when the immorality of a groups ancestry manifests itself in the present. These crackers in West Virginia can’t help themselves, any more than a pit bull can help being a vicious beast.

   Look at their history. They talk about so-called “Black-on-Black” crime, yet people of Color have a LONG way to go before we’ve committed as much “Cracker-on-Cracker” crime, and general violence, committed by the cockroaches of the Earth, During World War One, World War Two, The Civil War, The Opium War, The Barbaric Crusades, The Slaughter of American Indians, The Holocaust of Noble African people, and far, far too many other instances to mention.
   Now, considering that this energy, in accordance with immutable Laws of the Universe, is still around, is it any wonder that what happened in West Virginia happened.

   Check this out. What about the leftover, barbaric evil, still living within ole pale-face, that has YET to manifest itself. Please, spare me all of the Ph.d bullshit about these being “isolated incidents.” Disagree? Then take your Black, Brown, Red, or Yellow behind up to West Virginia, or Rural Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, or South Carolina, and see how many “isolated incidents” of peckerwood inspired hate you encounter.

   Jena six is the manifestation of a mental disease, a cultural evil, coming out of an age-old enemy. I know there are white folks that seem well meaning, in a paternalistic sort of way. However, “good” white folks aint worth a damn when some cracker cop is beating you up side the head with a billy club, or worse, making you eat rat feces, and drink out of toilets.

   Never mind crackers for a second. What’s most pertinent is how WE RESPOND to such incidents. Some of us trust the criminal justice system. Some of us, regardless of what happens, will “turn the other cheek”, forgive and forget. Those of us, like myself, will have to restrain from getting another Civil War started. Forgive and forget NOTHING! BOYCOTT EVERYTHING MADE IN WEST VIRGINIA. DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH COMPANIES THAT DO BUSINESS WITH COMPANIES IN WEST VIRGINIA. Walmart doesn’t mean as much to me as my sister up there in West Virginia, living amoungst histories most shameful barbarians.

   AN OPEN LETTER TO THE U.S. CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS. A SOLUTION TO THE U.S. SHORTAGE OF ORGAN DONORS.

   SHORTLY, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE PRESENTED TO BLACK LAWMAKERS IN CONGRESS. WILL THEY INTRODUCE A BILL ADDRESSING THE ORGAN DONAR SHORTAGE? PROBABLY NOT, BUT IT’S WORTH A TRY.

   Greetings, esteemed members of the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus.

   In our past, a book was written by Adam Smith, titled ” The Wealth of Nations. ” Adam Smith argued that greed is like an invisible hand that has the power to transform the lust for money into a force, beneficial to the common good. Greed would inspire competition, the ” producer class “, out of greed and self-interest, would compete with others in the “producer class” by offering their goods for lower prices. Inevitably, this would be a great blessing to the ” consumer class. ”

   Since this open letter concerns the Organ Donar shortage, a discussion about the flaws of the ” trickle down economic theory ” described above is a discussion for another time. However, a ” snippet ” of this theory can be used to solve the ever growing shortage of viable organs needed by people in need of immediate transplants.

   The solution to the aforementioned problem is relatively simple. A Bill should be introduced, proposing that organ donars be given the choice of DONATING THEIR ORGANS TO OTHER ORGAN DONARS. If a person is not an organ donar him/herself, their eligibility to recieve the aforementioned organs would be severely limited.

   What nobility would exist in introducing such a Bill? If a Bill of this type became Law, many, many more people would sign up to become organ donars for their own benefit. With certainty, the numbers of people who sometimes die waiting for organ transplants would decrease.

   As an African American “Scientist” , I’ve seen, firsthand, the hurt inflicted upon patients and families alike, due to this problem. It would bring me great pleasure, and personal satisfaction, if such a Bill, with such powerful social implications for the welfare of our society, were introduced by people of Color.

   I hope you will convene, one with another, to see that such a Bill is introduced into Congress.

   Kind regards,

    It’s a shame after all this time, the white race still fear the black man. Fear is an underlying current of hate. I’m not saying that all of the hatred is due to fear because majority of the hate comes from the “Posse Mentality”. I use to look at the cowboy movies and if someone said “let’s form a posse and go get them, it was done whether they understood why the people were being hunted. They just jumped on the band wagon, no question and were off. And we are considered uncivilized. I remember looking at Pocohantus and John Smith called the Indians savages and Pocohantus replied with “you call us savages because we don’t look like you” and then she took his weapon and said “who is a savage when you come to our land armed, telling us how we should live”. The blacks in US are setting a precedent for the other non-causian races. It is on our backs, blood and tears that the masses are getting equal rights but yet they are not joining us to fight this battle. I believe that the Black Man’s only hope is God. He said if my people will turn from their sins, and seek my face and pray then I will forgive them of their sins and heal their land. We are a spiritual people even after we have been dogged and abused, we still are preaching non-violence and trying to include everyone in our plan to combat unequal justice even though there are very few of the other races that has joined us.

    IN NON-ABSTRACT TERMS, HOW DO YOU BUILD A SOCIETY, OR A NATION?

    Greetings,

    How are Nations built? Well, an analogy to retrosynthetic analysis of chemical agents is due.

    Retrosynthetic analysis describes how Chemists take a proposed end product, then carefully and cleverly work “backwards”, to deconstruct the end product, step by step, until a well-known synthetic process is reached. They then simply follow the path they created, going forwards, towards the end-product they originally had in mind.

    Let’s construct a thriving society, and see what would be needed to construct it, moving backwards towards a societies simplest components, then, let’s move back forwards to the end product we seek.

    You cannot move farther back when you reach the uneducated Black youth of America. Therefore, step one is EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION. No, cool people don’t build societies; educated people do.

    Education gives the mental foundation. What’s next? The Nation.

    NATIONS ALL HAVE THREE BASIC COMPONENTS: (1) ECONOMIES, (2) INFRASTRUCTURES, AND (3) WEAPONS SYSTEMS.

    The Spirit of Societies and Nations is Mathematics; Period. Mathematical techniques, like the ones introduced (free of charge) on this website, prep. the mind to build. Mathematics is what gives birth to Chemistry, Physics, Computer Information Technology, Basic Machining, Automated Office Technology, Computer Aided Design, Crime Scene Investigation, Dental Hygiene, Electric Power Control, Electronics Engineering Technology, Gas and Arc Welding, Industrial Maintenance, Machine Tool Technology, Medical Laboratory Technology, Registered Nursing, Radio and Television Broadcast Technology, Respiratory Care, etc., etc., etc.

    Guess what ALL of the above professions have in common? They require TWO YEARS of study at community colleges to obtain mastery of them. This is where ex. convicts, high school drop-outs, drug dealers, and career changers come into play. Instead of building Mosques, Churches, and Nightclubs all of the time, some of our money must be invested in hiring tutors to teach elementary math, during evenings, in community centers around the country. ” Do boy ” organizations have mis-spent money on foolishness, and useless things long enough.

    The blue-eyed devil has it set up so that people with drug or alcohol offenses cannot recieve Federal tuition assistance, so Mosques and Churches, in addition to raising money for math tutorial programs, must raise money to assist youth with criminal records in attaining an education, AND BECOMING A BUILDER OF A SOCIETY!

    The above professionals can easily be placed within an area where there’s appropriate infrastructure. Money can be printed out, and the economy, guided by supply and demand, would take on a life of it’s own. New societies, out of necessity, may need the government to manipulate the economy so that it achieves the type of balance that the U.S. economy has.

    ALLOW ME, AND A FEW OTHER FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES, TO WORRY ABOUT WEAPONS SYSTEMS. If the leaders of African Nations stop foolishly selling the Uranium deposits they own, we’ll be alright.

    Hillary Clinton makes the case that race is more socially limiting than gender: If she thought her gender would hurt her, she’d stop bringing it up. If she though Barack’s race would help him, she’d stop bringing it up.

    www.digitaljournal.com/article/251820

    Hillary Clinton campaigned to the song “9 to 5,” music that “speaks” to women about feminine oppression and women sticking together. She bonded with women, and wept, just before men chanted, “iron our shirts,” and she pronounced “sexism alive and well,” just in time for the New Hampshire vote, that turned her campaign around.

    Hillary’s supporters, at the New York chapter of NOW, wrote a letter in which they called Ted Kennedy a traitor for endorsing Barack, instead of Hillary. Can we presume a race traitor?

    Hillary’s surrogates go on television and elsewhere, talking up the idea that women should vote for Hillary. She goes to her alma mater, Wellesley, and decries what it means to be a gal slugging it out with the guys. She tells women that she’s not just a candidate for the presidency, she’s out there lifting that one last glass ceiling, for them. She points out that women have not been elected to statewide office in New Hampshire and Mississippi, on her way to asking New Hampshire to vote for her. In a word, Hillary has shamelessly laid bare her gender “saying” take it any way that it persuades you to vote for me.

    Meanwhile Barack Obama never mentions his race beyond saying that he is the product of a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya. So Hillary does it for him.

    Hillary’s surrogates have highlighted Barack’s race in every way they know how because they have an agenda: To get women to vote for Hillary, because of her gender; and to get whites to vote for Hillary, because of her race.

    The gender solidarity strategy is already in place, thanks to the many tricks and antics that convinced some women that Hillary is not recognizable by her character and achievements, but rather by her feminine suffering. The gender theme of Hillary’s campaign is primarily that she’s a woman in a man’s world, and it is so hard, but she’s doing it for women, and the least women can do is to vote for her. By contrast, the race strategy is still getting tweaked.

    Racial solidarity, across sexual lines, is a strategy which the Clintons seem to be attempting by defining the candidates as the same. If the distinctions between the candidates is reduced to their physical characteristics, white women, who have a greater personal connection to white men as endeared mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters, will win.

    However, in the event that the quality of Barack Obama’s candidacy, pierces the consciousness of the voters, despite the sameness seduction, the Clintons have injected resentment and a sense of entitlement through their surrogates: What America feels about a woman becoming president takes a very secondary place to Obama’s campaign; In this country, where we’re at today in our thinking, it’s going to be harder to elect a woman than to elect a black man; It’s O.K. in this country to be sexist. It’s certainly not O.K. To be racist; If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position; Gender is probably the most restricting force in American life . . .

    These words, interspersed with media questions about white men voting for Barack, and feminist calling white men who support Barack traitors, provide the mantra that the media, repeatedly “whispers” in our collective ear, namely that a Democratic nomination, won by Barack Obama, is a national betrayal of white women.

    Besides challenging white men to prove their loyalty to white women, the Clinton race strategy is also designed to associate Barack with all things negative, while generating concern among white Americans, that black Americans are voting for Barack, because of his race. The theory seems to be that by convincing white voters that Barack is receiving racially inspired votes, some white voters will be persuaded to cast a racially inspired vote for Hillary. In a word, the Clintons have unleashed what may be the most aggressive divide and conquer campaign in American history.

    To accomplish this, the Clintons must convince the American people that African-Americans are voting for Barack Obama for racial reasons, without saying so.

    Bill Clinton introduced the first model for the race strategy when he announced to the public that African-Americans were voting for Barack Obama because of pride. Translation: the blacks are voting for a black candidate because he’s black. Conjecture: Whites should also vote for Hillary for racial reasons. What he left out of the equation is the fact that a majority of African-Americans favored Hillary over Barack until the Clintons began talking race in South Carolina. I guess he thought the symbols and double talk would go over their heads, but he was wrong. South Carolina was the first time that Barack Obama received overwhelming support from the African-American community. In a nut shell, African-Americans interpreted the Clintons’ use of race against Barack Obama as a betrayal, and they responded by rejecting Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.

    Never letting a little thing like truth interfere with anything, the Clintons are back with a new race strategy model. Geraldine Ferraro was the advance guard, laying the racially divisive foundation, by symbolically blackening up Barack Obama, by announcing that the achievements of his candidacy, are not his work product, but rather, the product of his race. “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is.” Once again the person, Barack Obama, is waylaid by the specter of race, courtesy of the Clintons.

    But when Barack called them on it, they claimed that he was the one harping on race. As a matter of fact, Geraldine Ferraro said that she was being picked on “because (she’s) white.” But she kept on talking about race, even while she was being criticized, because that was the point, to keep on talking about race, so that Barack’s identity gets lost in it.

    Before Barack could accomplish anything, the media changed the subject. Not from race, but from the Clintons’ racism against Barack, to something, someone who Barack knows, said. So race is still on the table, courtesy of the Clintons and their surrogates, but before Barack can deal with it, there’s a shift that puts him on the defensive. Consequently, he lost his identity as the victim of Geraldine Ferraro’s attacks, and he became a “perpetrator” by proxy, required to answer for somebody else’s behavior.

    While Barack was down for the count, Bill Clinton entered with revised language for the next race strategy. This time instead of calling the voting pattern of African-Americans the product of “pride,” he described it as a response to a black candidate, who can win. And he used the recent overwhelming support for Barack Obama, by African-Americans, to “prove” it. “Once African-Americans understood that they had a candidate with a serious chance to win the nomination and perhaps the presidency, then it was going to be a question of somewhere between 80 percent and 90 percent were going to support him.” That distorts the fact that African-Americans have declined to vote for white and black candidates, who they prefer, but who they don’t believe can win. It’s not exclusive to black candidates, remember Ralph Nader? African-Americans have never been inclined to vote for anyone, of any race, simply because they can win. African-Americans are voting for Barack Obama for the same reason that white Americans are voting for him — because they believe that he is the best candidate.

    Bill Clinton has introduced the concept of African-Americans voting for Barack because he can win, to every media source, camera and print outlet, in the U.S. I don’t think there is anyone naive enough to think that Bill Clinton is publicizing an interpretation of the voting pattern of African-Americans, leading up to a do-or-die contest in Pennsylvania, for no reason. Indeed, it is a carefully crafted talking point, and he has not left it out of any of his discussions with the multitude of media with whom he has spoken in the last few days. This is the new racial strategy; African-Americans are voting in overwhelming numbers for Barack Obama, because he can win. Translation: African-Americans are voting for Barack Obama, based on race. Conjecture: White Americans should also vote for Hillary, for racial reasons.

    Quite frankly, the Clintons have given up on the African-American vote, and their strategy is to increase their support from white women and white men, by racially dividing the vote. Once again they’re getting out the message by characterizing Barack racially, and “telling” white voters that the vote has turned racial, on the part of African-Americans, and white Americans should vote racially too
