******* Raghu probably is not really aware of (a) the structural grounds of racism and (b) the historical role of the Democratic Party to contain an absorb social protest. As to the latter. With the victory of the Civil-Rights movement (and the smashing defeat of the Black Libeeration Movement as a whole, a sector of the black population was absorbed into the "mainstream" both of economic activity and of politics. This sector joined gladly (not always consciously) in the perpetuation of the core of racial oppression, The Inner City, The War on Crime, and the creation of a new segregated educational system in the cities. Any discussion of racism which does not focus on the smashing (not merely the amelioration) of these three "institutions" serves to aid reproduction of racism in the United States.
