White Leftists and Black Power

There's a scene from The Autobiography of Malcolm X: After police beat and arrested a black man in Harlem, X called all the residents in the neighborhood out into the streets in a tightly controlled protest -- hundreds of blacks solemnly lined the street behind him as he demanded--and got--medical attention for the man the police had beaten. Legend has it that the police captain, after caving to X's demands for fear that Malcolm X could start a riot with a snap of his finger, said "No one man should have that much power."

That power -- the power to trigger black riots at will -- is the power white leftists have always craved.

Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. I'm talking two-fourths of the Mount Rushmore of African American writing--two of the brightest talents in black history, either of them arguably the finest writer America has produced. Both of them documented this white leftist strategy to manipulate black rage to drive their own radical agenda.

So it's reasonable to suspect that domestic terrorist William Ayers of the Weather Underground was looking for a way to co-opt 'Black Power' when he hosted the launch of Barack Obama's political career in Chicago. This does not prove Ayers ever got what he wanted from Obama! But it does raise questions -- just questions, fair questions -- that Obama should answer. Instead, he demands we not even ask them..........

......We all heard the 'viral scream' over the net after Obama's failure in last week's debate -- groupthink blog posts repeating ad nauseum that questions about the Weathermen are irrelevant. That we should just give veto power over counter-terrorism to Obama without assurances that he saw through (let's say, outsmarted) the disaffected, insane radical white terrorists who tried to recruit Obama as a pawn in the "same ol' same ol'" leftist race game. I think the 'viral scream' is specious, reckless and silly.

Interesting take from a far leftist regarding "The autobiography of Malcom X" (read by Barak)and the William Ayers of the Weather Underground

[ETL]

"Their founding document [the Weather Underground's] called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[1] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."..."-Berger, Dan (2006). Outlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity. AK Press, 95.

"they [the Weather Underground] employed revolutionary jargon, advocated armed struggle and black liberation and began bombing buildings, taking responsibility for at least 20 attacks. Estimates of their number ranged at times from several dozen to several hundred."

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"FBI files from 1976, recently made public under the Freedom of Information Act, confirm the connections between Weatherman, Havana, and Moscow. Weatherman leaders like Mark Rudd traveled illegally to Havana in 1968 to engage in terrorist training. There, camps set up by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine were educating Westerners both in Marxist philosophy and urban warfare."

Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield

"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' He said, 'I realized...America was an evil... and that I was... living inside the belly of the beast...' "

Leftists do all they can to keep Blacks down. This gives the leftists a chance to use them to get leftist laws passed. At no time do leftists really DO anything that would help Blacks.
