somwtimes I truely sit and wonder what color is the sky in other people's worlds....I mean really, what in what the Governor said....(because I am sure you have actually seen the whole speach that I linked to above...right?!)....legitimizes the confederate flag?

Is he espousing policies that supports racists beliefs or is he instead trying to undermine the very environment that allows racism to breed and be exploited by the repugs in election after election....

This is just silly!

Are you calling for politics of exclusion? Is that your answer to the problems of racism in America!? Who here actually believes that ignoring the outward trappings of racism is ever going to get us to that place that DR. King spoke of?

Come on damn it! Wake up!! Most people are not Klan members who put the confederate flag up....most people are scared and worried that they may loose their job, that if they support the Democrats, not only will they lose their job, but Dems will give it to less qualified African Americans!!!!

Why do they buy it? Becuase the country is set up so that all that's left for the middle class and poor in this country is crumbs!!! In order to change attitude, you must change the conditions in which these attitudes are created!!! That's what Dean is all about...and to suggest otherwise is nothing more than the reverse Southern Strategy...paint any Dem that seeks to address the problems of poor southerners as closet racists who will do away with Afrimative Action and all our civil rights....it is below contempt and Kerry and Edwards should be ashamed of themselves!!!! If anyone has shown themselevs in a bad light...it is these two candidates...and i'm sure Gephardt and Lieberman will be joining them shortly in this trategy of exclusion.....
