In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    What purpose did the tax cut for the wealthiest serve?

    It is a continuation of the redistribution of wealth from the working class to the elite rich.

    Census finds record gap between rich and poor

    Record gap between rich and poor? Neo-liberal solution? Drive down wages so that the rich can have more money to pay out.

    Does communism force a portion of the population to live in poverty?

    Communism is the classless society that will eventually result from the workers coming to power. It is impossible for one socialist to lay out a blueprint of exactly what this society will look like because it isn't up to one person, or a small group of people to build this future society...

    Great song or what?

    And as if on cue, the other fundamental part of that historical southern strategy rhetoric emerges: call those speaking against racism racist and pretend that racism would just die out if people would only be so good as to stop fighting it.

    If MLK were alive today, would he be on Glenn Beck's 'chalkboard?'

    Of course. King was a radical, a labor organizer and an anti-racist. Beck is the leader of a movement whose defining characteristic is white racism.

    Great song or what?

    You illustrate my point about the beliefs of the tea partiers pretty well. You believe that the destructive redistribution of wealth is from working people to lazy, non-workers. What you don't explicitly state, but what has been the basis of this rhetoric since it emerged as part of the...

    Great song or what?

    First, a given movement has to be analyzed in terms of the interests it represents, not merely what it's official webites say. Second, if you haven't heard the tea-partiers express the belief that immigrants and minorities getting handouts is the basis of America's decline then you haven't...

    Great song or what?

    Not a good song. Right wingers make good bullfighters and deathsquad leaders, but they do not, almost without exception, make good musicians or artists. The left has Bob Dylan and Woodie Guthrie. The right has Ted Nugent. There is a bit of (albeit pathetically backwards) class...

    Who here is tired of hearing about racism?

    Well, sure. But this is a country built on slavery and in which the strategies of both of the major political parties are based inherently on racism, with de facto segregated schools and neighborhoods, huge incarceration rates for Blacks and Latinos and economic white supremacy. Race is the...

    Racism in America

    The discrepency is based on race. Our neighborhoods are segregated based on race. So yes, this conclusively has to do with race. Did you forget what your argument was? You obviously did. Your argument was how come we have successful black people if black people are oppressed. I...

    Racism in America

    I explained it pretty clearly, but I'll be extra-patient, just for you. I pointed out that the discrepencies of income, education, prison rate, etc among the races suggests that racism has an impact on society. That's pretty straight forward. The variable in the descrepancies is race. The...

    Racism in America

    I alleged that the phenomenon of the drug trade and related violence in the Black community could be attributed in large part to racism, both historic and current. I again pose the question to you: why do Blacks lag behind in wealth? (for every dollar an average white family has, an average...

    Racism in America

    Ummmmmmmmm... Can you dispute something? Or offer an alternative explanation as I requested? You know, debate politics?

    Racism in America

    You guys seem to tend to think that Black culture is the cause of Black people's astronomical rates of poverty, imprisonment, drug abuse etc. 1) That's not the main factor. 2) I'll admit that "Black culture" isn't perfect. I'm not denying that gangs and anti-intellectualism are a problem...

    Racism in America

    What were the crime rates for crimes committed by Jews in Auschwitz? People who aren't free, ie no freedom of mobility, speech, action can't commit much crime really. It does actually. Unfortunately you have to think about it for a moment.
