I appreciate Fred's comments, most of which,
I think, I agree with.
There are several parts to this discussion. Assuming
HERE we are discussing this among people who
do not call for a vote for Obama (I state this because
I haven't read all the threads on this), then the most
important aspect of this discussion is how to approach
Obama *supporters* among the Black community.
^^^^^
CB: If I might respectfully disagree, the
most important part of this is the _whites_
voting for Obama. Black people voting for
a Black candidate is to be expected, nothing new.
What is new in this is the mass anti-racism of the
whites voting for a Black person for President.
That's points at an anti-racist majority
That is potentially radical. It is an
expression of potential
Black/White/Brown/Red/Yellow unity.
White communists should be analyzing and cultivating ,
elaborating and propagandizing
the consciousness of
white voters for Obama, not so much
analyzing the
consciousness of Black voters for
Obama, BAR, Ford et al.'
The latter gets white communists
into a paternalistic trap ,
things like
"BAR and Ford are making a necessary critique of
Obama for
Black people ! Ugh !! White communists stay
clear of that discussion.
