(It needs to have the exclamation point to stick, otherwise it's an academic paper.)<BR/><BR/>With the ancient history of slavery in the United States (the only place on Earth and the only nation in history to practice slavery...well I'm joking but I think many people really believe this), whites (especially liberals) tremble at the word or the threat of using the word. They will do anything and everything, include putting themselves at a disadvantage looking for work, putting their children at a similar disadvantage in school and applying for college, ignoring the facts about the exploitation of the country to serve the ends of the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the country.<BR/><BR/>Even Barak Obama has the election totally won at this point. All he has to say is, "My election will prove that America has moved a step closer to Martin Luther King's vision of a color-blind America." The hidden message is, 'Only a racist would vote against me.' That won't be said overtly, of course, but it will be said in so many words.<BR/><BR/>Your exhortation that the West has to get used to the idea of acting in its best interests no matter the color of a man's skin may work somewhere, but not in America and I don't think in Britain or the rest of Western Europe as well. Perhaps the Middle East and Africa it might work.<BR/><BR/>That battle has been fought and decided two generations ago.<BR/><BR/>Black Americans are still pushing for 'slave reparations'. Barak when he is President might push it as well. It wouldn't surprise me.<BR/><BR/>Hillary picked the worst time to run, for the one constituency more linked to the Democrat party than liberal women are blacks. The vote more than 90 percent each election, year in, year out, for Democrats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
