All the points are well-taken and I appreciate your reaction to the PAC issue re: Obama.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, we realize that we will never appreciate 100% of what any presidential candidate does or says. We have to look for a preponderance of evidence that the person would represent us and our country in a manner that we respect. Right now Obama holds the key for me. However, there is still time before a vote needs to be cast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-40782618748483088032007-10-21T13:58:00.000-04:002007-10-21T13:58:00.000-04:00Those were good questions but I these questions pr...Those were good questions but I <A HREF="http://reclaimcivilrights.org/resources/questions-for-mukasey.html" REL="nofollow">these</A> questions provided by reclaimcivilrights.org especially since they speak of racial profiling, worker's discrimination and also the questions site sources directly related to Mukasey's career.<BR/><BR/>I also wanted to draw attention to some of the dissent against Obama from the black community. <A HREF="http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=368&Itemid=36" REL="nofollow">Here</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=374&Itemid=33" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>Have you seen <A HREF="http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=204&Itemid=34" REL="nofollow">this </A> on Russell Simmons, Obama and Kucinich?<BR/><BR/>Obama lost me when during a debate he said "I don't take no P.A.C. money." I appreciate the use of a double negative in speech but in this case two negatives equals a positive since I checked for myself and found he does take P.A.C. money though not as much as others. I am so sick of politicians lying that he crossed the line for me.<BR/><BR/>One thing is very evident is we must end this spiraling cycle of racism and classism that we believed was behind us. As I wrote that last line, I realize "we" are only the mainstream this nonsense has continued without the focus of media attention. <BR/><BR/>These nooses turning up sicken me. Racial profiling and the effects it has on it's victims is destroying potential. Economic policies and free hand corporatism affect those on the lowest rungs of society first, and the majority of those on the bottom are there due to these same policies. <BR/><BR/>Black Americans have formed this country through their blood, labor, and the numerous contributions of those radical souls that realized throughout suppression of their human dignity that all humans have inherited honor and should be respected as such and shared this realization.<BR/><BR/>We know of the importance of human value because of the disrespect it has been shown historically by profit power.<BR/><BR/>Again I thank you for spreading the news about these pertinent issues that we still challenge and fight against. I surely haven't heard a thing about the nooses on my network news.<BR/><BR/>Much Love<BR/><BR/>Danielle<BR/><BR/>{I am still awaiting news on Se7en's banner, gotta show my solidarity to the village!.}Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836716475835685334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-19279636092321337482007-10-20T22:09:00.000-04:002007-10-20T22:09:00.000-04:00Strider - Thank you for sharing your village voice...<B>Strider</B> - Thank you for sharing your <I>village voice</I> withus.

By the way, your Price-Phister spelling of f'd up is hillarious! I'm just now getting back in my chair after rolling onto the floor. But back to the main thing.<BR/><BR/>Yeah man, Barak has vision and tact. For my money a candidate doesn't have to comment on every social cause while he's running because that just smacks of pandering and photo-opping to me. I'd rather see situations dealt with substantively and on the record the way he did with this letter.<BR/><BR/>You know what else? It doesn't even matter if the potential attorney general ever responds to it. You know why? Because it reveals how our future President would approach problems and political issues which is what I really want to know about a candidate.<BR/><BR/>Man, I'm going to have to go to his web site and give him some campaign money right now.Martin Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081634926254191862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-91790612580359238762007-10-20T09:23:00.000-04:002007-10-20T09:23:00.000-04:00I just discovered your blog and must say that I am...I just discovered your blog and must say that I am impressed!
