Obama's Multiracial Coalition and the Politics of Racial Reconciliation

23-03-2008 18:47

Obama's unconditional affirmations that America is “inherently good”, that white racism is not endemic, that “radical Islam” is the enemy, that apartheid Israel is a “stalwart ally”, and that his pastor and spiritual mentor, a man who accurately reflects the views of most of Black America is an angry, divisive old uncle stuck in the fifties and sixties --- all these may restore his credentials among whites as the candidate of “racial reconciliation”.

Tuesday January 29, 2008
 http://www.akramawad.com/2008/03/parade-of-shame.html

And it looks like the main Jewish bodies in the UK have decided to work hand-in-hand, taking their pride in that history to a new level this year by organising the “Salute to Israel” parade in London next June.

When President Bush initiated war against Iraq, one of the main reasons given in his letter of transmittal to Congress of March 18 2003 was that Iraq was in defiance of UN Resolutions regarding weapons of mass destruction.

White Working Class Documentaries on the BBC......

16-03-2008 14:09

Documentary series purporting to look at white working class. If you look at 'working class' you must define what 'working' means and stimulate a real discussion!
