I agree that the color line is alive and well in the US. But doesn�t the
wink and a nod from the Dems/Gore about the color line�s role in the coup of
the Repugs/Bush II show that we must re-define the �right� to include the US
white political establishment generally? As Malcom X said (and I
paraphrase), Don't say the South, the South. If you're south of Canada
you're in the South.
