I went to see Dave Chapelle one night in Oakland. He was doing his gig in a local bar -- went on for many, many nicotine- and caffeine-driven hours. At one point, someone asked him what he thought of Obama, and he said, "yah, well, Obama, he's just a black cop."
Thought it was a good summary. Joanna ----- Original Message ----- On Dec 29, 2011, at 7:53 PM, Doug Henwood wrote: By the way, Obama can be accused of many things, but racist? Really? You have not responded to my point that the War on Drugs is, and has been ever since Nixon, the main form of American Racism. Obama is (as Jesse Jackson once claimed to be) the commander-in-chief of the War on Drugs. His rhetoric, like the color of his skin, tries to deny racism. His behavior proclaims it. Racism is as racism does.
