Reader Comments
In order to appreciate the truths in this article, the reader should understand that the regime of President Bush and his warped priorities are not an aberration, but rather a natural product of white American capitalism in its twilight years. Presently many progressive media have fallen into the trap of thinking that the Kerry Administration will be far more progressive than the Bush Administration. However, like Mr. Bush, Mr. Kerry opposes Reparations for Afro-Descendants while supporting both Reparations and massive military aid for white Israel. Kerry favors neo-colonial policies in Asis, Africa and Latin America and just a few days endorsed both the policy of pre-emptive strikes and Israel’s unjust wall.
Sincerely,
