: From: Doyle Saylor No, but I wasn't talking about the people that the dominant society nominates as black leaders - what Adolph Reed calls the race management elite. I was talking about the vast majority of progressive activists and regular people. The atmosphere in my neighborhood, Fort Greene/Clinton Hill in Brooklyn, which is about 70% black, is electric. It's moving. I wonder if the Commissar of the Cornfields would be similarly moved if he were transported here, or if he would tell them about the efficient murder of Afghans.
Doyle; I think you verify my own experience. There is a stirring of mass sentiments in the population. This feeling amongst African Americans is shared by many caucasians and asians. All tied to as you say to the reformist glow of Obama. They won't respond well to austerity programs. I think Obama must come through with substantial reforms or this support will wilt and turn away from Obama fairly quickly. thanks, Doyle Saylor ^^^ Hi Doyle, Umm if I might disagree, I predict O's Black support will be very patient with him and will be with him through thick and thin.
