I hope your opinion doesn't mirror his. It's a racist depiction of black people as irrational and unthinking. It reminds me of Denmark Vesey's ahistorical construction of the Plantation Negro. Candidate Obama campaigned to the right of Bush, McCain, and Clinton on the subject of Afghanistan. He urged a marked and http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsr#1174148 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:24:45 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsrs#1174148 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsrs#1174148 Doc, despite all of my criticisms, I would like nothing more than to see this president become a profile of courage. I just don’t see the JFK in him, but he has reached a fork in the road (Af-Pak), where there is no fence for him to straddle. He could surprise me and stand down McChrystal, but I seriously doubt it. And constantly inveighing against him does little to advance your social age... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsr#1165272 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:15:59 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsrs#1165272 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsrs#1165272 Pardon my delay. There is nothing defeatist about it. Just a recognition of the Sisyphean dynamic that is man's fate. The earliest human traditions from Gilgamesh to the Iliad to Beowulf and beyond celebrate as hero the individual who wanders beyond safe corridors to meet the challenge. That's why I take the radical left so seriously and admire your courage. It is the radical left who map the fron... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsr#1148550 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:15:15 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsrs#1148550 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/1883884768060764001/?src=hsrs#1148550 Yo Doc, without knowing the context of the conversation (I assume that it may have been about Obama), it appears to me that Bro. Baraka is expressing a defeatist attitude. What’s the purpose of winning if your victories give your enemies new weapons to use against you? May as well be content with losing and the old weapons of familiarity. It's something that I wish my friends on the radica... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/7219031328961692593/?src=hsr#1028278 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 06:34:52 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/7219031328961692593/?src=hsrs#1028278 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/7219031328961692593/?src=hsrs#1028278 The perfect metaphor to refute the notion of the a complete takeover of the health care system by the government. As if a single payer scheme will solve all of our problem medically speaking. No single payer on earth earth will do it. We must always have a mix of public and private. The fact is, the pigs and cunning ones in the banking/financial system should have been allowed to fail. Period.

Man you never run out of the funniest but sharpest criticisms. Congrats, BTW, to your boy Woodson on entering the Hall of Fame. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/5116631938432710000/?src=hsr#885888 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:05:29 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/5116631938432710000/?src=hsrs#885888 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/5116631938432710000/?src=hsrs#885888 I'm going to have to check that out. I think the discussion was missing something though -- Black Nationalists. I would agree with your brother's quote, except that perhaps Solomon is getting a bad wrap. Solomon would not have been wise if neither woman was the actual mother of that baby. Their mutual indifference would have led to a bloody mess at someone's feet. So it is with the ab... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/7156205004567273596/?src=hsr#885424 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 10:35:44 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/7156205004567273596/?src=hsrs#885424 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/submariner/7156205004567273596/?src=hsrs#885424 Interesting that you should race the decades old debate among Black intellectuals about the meaning of "race." I always take it back to Harold Cruse's Crisis. He was clear that the analytical paralysis of the group was due to its integrationism and distance from regla Black folk. Like nulan says, it is what it is.
