No More Code Words: Racism is Public Again
Mark Karlin is the founder and editor of BuzzFlash.com and his recent column is copied below. The important thing to get from this piece is that we are witnessing the bigot’s backlash to having elected a black man president and that Obama must stop trying to placate these bigots because he cannot. Further, that his model is, and should be, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who won impressive advances equal human rights for African Americans (and all of the various other human rights movements to follow) by standing for his beliefs and enlisting the active support of “we, the People.” So, there are two questions. Will Obama stop trying to placate the rightwing bigots who are stirred up by corporate financed rightwing hate media and call for a mass populist movement? The second question is, will you respond?
