My apologies, and
[Read the article: Will whites vote for Barack Obama? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I really recommend 'Blactivist' as your tag/claimed purpose (posting to internet boards).
Same with various software's 'Support Portal'... should be supportal.... Contraction is the future of our times.
And yes, when you say 'the Jews' try and deflect their own bigotry away from them, it rather rings as a simpering anti-semitism ... a stereotype of black men one so educated and experienced in the matters of ethicity and bigotry ought be aware of and seek to discount. However, either you are not the informed soldier in the army of equity you so claim, or if you are, you must then be an actual anti-semite. (Nevermind that self-affirmation of your own ideological and polemical bent has you spouting 'whitey' and 'whiteboy' because thats 'challenging')
To recap....It can only be one or the other: you are either not an informed citizen regarding matters of race and ethnicity and have edged into representations of anti-semitism, or you ARE informed and aware of what it is you imply and therefore ARE and anti-semite.
I recommend a return and full reread of Frantz Fanon and perhaps that Camus book, 'Rebel' I think it was called to realign your polemical and dialectic capacities, as you have dithered into what people call 'internet troll'... which perhaps you canna realise since in that polemical dialectic, any feedback is good feedback.... really the existentialists and friends gave no hint how to synthesize a response.

Now...
[Read the article: Will whites vote for Barack Obama? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your not even trying.
Anyway, if you really had any thought, you could have responded to my initial query:
While you may enjoy the 'dialectic' of irritating people, if you were aware that an inflated discourse on race could seemingly overwhelm Obama's campaign, would you discourage a decrease in the volume that the discussion on racism in america if you felt that a form of 'issue fatigue' were hampering his chances of becoming president?
It's fairly simple... and I think you will respond in some sort of 'you'll never take ME down' line.
As far as white liberals being the most intolerant people on the globe, i don't really know about that, and it seems, on the face of it, wrong, even if one were to suppose that there are a goodly number of socalled 'white liberals' who are not quite so open minded as they, or at least their friends think. I would suggest, I don't care, as long as they vote in a manner which will ultimately prove successful.
And, you WERE being anti-semetic... if bald racial stereotyping is what you call a 'Macro Idea'... maybe i am starting to see what you really are on about.

I am Activist!
[Read the article: Will whites vote for Barack Obama? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]'Cultural DNA'?.... Israel ARE 'the jews'? .... how darlingly un-PC you are?.... for feck sake, man... get a grip!
It is I who am the activist here! Face it Thrasher, you have been bested in the Field of Spelling and Use of Ellipses To Represent Pause. You have been exposed for what you are: A self-hating Black Jew whose poor and ill-concieved placement of ellipses has short-circuited your mechanism.
The LOLing is also a problem in my mind, although it is unPC in this age to say so... A friend LOLed me in a text the other day. I just couldn't bring it up when I saw him.

You've
[Read the article: Will whites vote for Barack Obama? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]said on numerous occasions that you were and Obama supported, or at least have denigrated his opponents, and made rcommedation on a previous column that you wanted Obama's people to call you since you were quite the Blactivist.
Now, I demand an apology for being called a 'Typical White Liberal'... At its heart though, my post was not about whether YOU really supported Obama but whether so-called white liberals would vote for him, after which I stipulated I didn't care whether there was a core of bigotry hanging out in that caucasian corpus, as long as they voted the 'right way'... IN my opinon that is probably for Obama, but for the purposes here, I was suggesting is doesna matter what anyone thinks in thie complexes, as long as they agree with me.
I also demand an apology for Amilcar Cabral, author, revolutionary, nationalist and family man, who you so demeaned as not worthy of Fanon or Baldwin. The man has passed on and you decided to denigrate the grave of a proud african nationalist! Apologize!

Activist is Backtivist
[Read the article: Will whites vote for Barack Obama? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Chabs -- A good point about letting the media do the dirty work, as they clearly like taking stabs at the Clintons. However, on attacking Don;t ask don't tell and welfare reform, seem like running against Bill, and act which could be percieved as mysogynistic as well as be a death knell, as Clinton is popular.
Moreover, even if people are uncertain of the facts on the ground as they resulted, most people felt it positive that welfare needed reform. For that matter, Obama is an economic centrist, or potentially even BillClintonesque in his positions therein, so it is unlikely HE did not support welfare reform.

The Thrashing
[Read the article: There's no taking sides]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thrashing about! You apologize to me an Amilcar Cabral(!), both Blactivists the likes of which you have never seen or known. Both of us have fought against the oppression so common to fascist nudniks around the globe while you have sat here dweedling your thumbs about Don Imus or screaming about Jews while the beatnin's on people of color the globe over are ignored.... You are amerocentric.
You said Cabral was not the equal of Cornel West... How the hell are you going to compare Cabral, the liberator of two african nations to that fat, rappin', chocolate catfish? You truly have spun off the wheel!....
I trust in the deepening of age you will recompose yourself and (re)visit your Fanon, who is apparenty no mentor of yours.
