<P>Dear Bob,</P>
<P>I regret to tone of levity suggested in my last post to the following:<BR></P></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> I didn't imply "that a black republican must automatically be a house
<DIV></DIV>>nigger". Condi Rice has admitted getting her Stanford job over better
<DIV></DIV>>qualified applicants by virtue of her negritude. At the same time she
<DIV></DIV>>volubly supports (i saw her on Meet the Press) her prez's amicus v Michigan
<DIV></DIV>>on its affirmative action admissions policy. The detail could hardly be
<DIV></DIV>>more definitive, eh? She eagerly serves the man in the big white house in
<DIV></DIV>>his effort (cf., Trent Lott, Judge Pickering) to keep her own people, field
<DIV></DIV>>niggers, in their place (ie., out of law school). And with Colin Powell the
<DIV></DIV>>case is even more stark, fronting once again for another Massa Bush massacre
<DIV></DIV>>of another group (Iraq/Palestine/Islam) of intractable niggers. There is a
<DIV></DIV>>particular species of loathing attaches to this quality of moral betrayal;
<DIV></DIV>>and, could i find a stronger than house-nigger, i'd greedily employ it.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a very serious matter indeed. Except there appears to be an expectation on your part that Afro-Americans should have some sense of solidarity-through-struggle etc.,; otherwise why *betrayal*?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Next you'll be telling me that women should have some sort of solidarity because of feminism. You have to hand it to the capitalists and the bastards. They have a solidarity in self interest. Comrade, the moon is blue in Ju8ne.</DIV>
