Comment I believe we are in for some policy shifts. Not because Obama is black. If anything the president is black because of policy shift.
^^^ CB: This is a good way to get at it. The massive white vote for a Black candidate for President means there has been a big advance in anti-racism of the US white population. Anti-racist consciousness in that large group means they are ready for more progressive consciousness more broadly, including potentially foreign policy. Racism is part of the mass consciousness that is the basis for US imperialism. Masses of Americans thinking of Koreans, Viet Namese, Iraqis, Afghanis as inferior peoples is critical to the viability of US imperialist wars against them. ^^^^^ Obama is extremely astute and saw the possibility of winning President when no one on the left or right thought it possible two years ago, save a very few within his campaign. Obama is the most unflinching and coolest âmuther***kerâ I have every seen in my life. ^^^ CB: Word. Miles Davis is now moved back to number two on the all time list of the coolest.
