23. Where have you been?
You don't sound like anyone who has been on DU for any period of time. This issue is not going away. There are social networks in this country which have given the bush administration its power as well as corporate America. These networks include good ole boy networks which are composed primarily of white males.

Many of the strategies they use to strengthen their power rely on policies which exploit ethnic groups which would challenge them. You see, these good ole boy networks rely on secrecy and loyalty. They want to pick who wins and who loses. The Southern Strategy is the most obvious example. You know why these white groups don't like ethnic groups? Because we see them for what they are. Crooks. And we don't like their backroom dealings which generally means at some point down the road, we're going to get victimized by their greed, or by their mistakes.

Sorry if it offends you, but it's a reality. It's a good ole boy's club, and the only progressive that seems to have the balls to recognize it, is Michael Moore. So you'll excuse me if I take his word, over yours. That you see yourself in the line of fire means that you don't understand the problem.
