From Amazon dot com’s product description of Bill Ayer’s and his wife Bernardine Dohrn new book:
“White supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life is debated in these personal essays by two veteran political activists. Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days—and that it is still very much with us—the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education. The book draws upon the authors' own confrontations with authorities during the Vietnam era, reasserts their belief that racism and war are interwoven issues, and offers personal stories about their lives today as parents, teachers, and reformers.”

We’re drawing blood on Ayers questions. They fled to the bunker:

[I’ll link this thread there too.]
I wonder where Obama plans to put Ayers in his administration.
Sec. of Education. Doesn’t the song go “...teach your children well...” ?
i am sorry, i am driving and can’t search posted via blackberry
Does Ayers mention the fact that Democrats are among the culprits of racism in America at the time as they still are? I wonder what he thinks of Farrakhan and Wright?
Veteran terrorists is more like it.
Why in the hell is that scum still breathing?
Good call.
That’s one approach.
Another is: Why don’t we fulfill the accusations of our virulent accusers? I haven’t used the “N” word in a lot of years. The only exception I can think of is 0bama.
For a new guy, I like your style.
WTF are you doing using your Blackberry AT ALL while you are driving?!
For the love of God, hang up the freaking phone and pay attention to your driving! The lives of EVERYONE around you are wholly dependent upon it. Not to mention your own!
Stopped in traffic. Not that stupid.
Booker T. Washington. It’s worthwhile quoting.
“There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their (the black people’s) wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs . . .”
Booker goes on to say: “There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out, they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”
