Okay, this is some street level, corner boy, ambitious drug king pin type of s***. I rest my case on the perceived difference between street criminals and corporate criminals.

Call me crazy, but the more I volunteer for the Obama campaign and talk to Obama supporters the more historical my thoughts become.

This diary is just a bit of late night rant but today's Paul Krugman article has finally convinced me that whether he is nuts, or a total toady for Sen. Clinton doesn't matter, he is a hack.

I caught this post over at jackandjillpolitics.com and it is a perfect summation of the arrogant hypocritical posturing of Christopher "White Man's Burden" Hitchens.

on you america, our fingerprints are
everywhere, Cesaire told you
that our family strewn around the world
has made more parts of that world

THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Bill Shaheen's comments that Barack Obama may not stand up to the rigorous scrutiny that is Presidential General election politics has some validity. However it is not the Clinton campaign's insinuation of questions about Barack Obama's drug history that makes him vulnerable to a Republican opponent. It is Barack Obama's Africanity/Blackness in a white supremacist society that is his Achilles' heel. And it took HRC's electoral desperation to open Pandora's box.

You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (in the morning! git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (don't give it up, don't give it up!)

Get Up, Stand Up-Bob Marley and the Wailers

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to watch "Street Fight", the Marshall Curry directed documentary recording the 2002 mayoral race in Newark, NJ between incumbent Sharpe James and challenger and 1st term Newark City Council member, Cory Booker(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457496/). The documentary is without a doubt one of the most important discussions of the internal politics within African-America. James and Booker knowingly and willingly play out one of the oldest dramas of post-Emancipation African-American political life, the leadership battle fought on the terrain of culture, class and color.http://www.imdb.com/...

I have been wrestling with these issues for a number of years and believe these questions are vital not just to the future of peoples of Africa descent in the US but to the society as a whole. As well this topic may seem a little early, however as dailykos is so wonderfully congested, I find it necessary to get a leap on diaries relevant to Afri-US History Month by posting a week early.

Note: My use of the term Afri-US denotes Black people in the US who are linked to the society through ties of history, culture and identification with those African based cultures grounded in the experience of slavery in the US. African American denotes, for me, the larger community of peoples of African descent in the Western hemisphere.
