[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] All I'm saying about 'black leadership' is that Jackson et al get ALL the media coverage. All of it. The question of the legitimacy of Anita Hill's testimony is another issue entirely. Suffice it to say that although I believed it at the outset, but I find it suspect now. (Kind of like that guy they brought in as a last-minute surprise witness against Ashcroft, but didn't tell anybody that he was a long-time Hillary staffworker and about as unbiased as Bob Jones, or the guy Tipper's PMRC brough in to testify to congress about music, who they called a 'music expert' but who was actually a reverend) Politics shouldn't be a 'recruitment' thing. People shouldn't be that self-centered. But sadly, they are. There's plenty of reasons to vote Democratic, but you'd find that the biggest reason is "my parents did." Most of the other reasons are 40 years old. The remaining reasons are entitlements. People claim the Democrats are THE big force for social justice, but there's not a whole lot to that concept. It was people like Charlton Heston, who marched side-by-side with Sidney Poitier in the Civil Rights protests in the 60's, (bet you didn't know THAT!) who are Republicans now. It was Southern Democrats, mostly, who supported the continuation of segregation, especially George "Segregation now, Segregation forever!" Wallace. PEOPLE, of ALL walks of life, agreeing and acting together, create social justice, not political parties. I notice you mention slavery AGAIN. Isn't that old saw getting tired? It's been almost 150 years. And the Civil Rights struggle? We've had a whole generation grow into adulthood since then. It's not that, either. You take a good, long, look at the 'gimmie' culture of today, and you'll see what it is. [/QB][/QUOTE]
