General Discussion

It better stop now.

I grew up in fucking Sunnyside in Houston where my dad was born and he and my mom moved back to after he retired from the military so he could try to change things. I left home in '67 when I was barely 18 to move to CA to join the BPP. After the "event" (I wasn't there) I was sent to college overseas, became involved in leftist social causes, and ended up working with the Maryknolls in Guatemala until I just couldn't stand watching the SOA-trained "defenders" of global capitalism murder families without paying a price for it. Now that may offend you all to heck, but it sure as hell doesn't make me white. ("And that you so contemptuously dismiss the TN Democratic Party with its large percentage of African Americans is all too reminiscent of the attitude toward black voters--demeaned as the "confederacy" -- during the primary." <<< try this somewhere else, you missed here)

I came back here, graduated from law school and spent over three decades representing almost entirely people of color from death row inmates to victims of police brutality. I've campaigned in the South for every Democratic nominee FOLLOWING Bill Clinton, including Hillary. I'm sorry if the fact that I supported the candidate who came nearest to my political views during the primary offends you so much that you think you can spew a bunch a garbage at me about "sudden concern for AA voters."

Oh, btw, Jaime hasn't announced (well, not that I've heard). I met him during the general. He a good person and has done as good job as possible in SC. If he wants it, I might go with him, but (and I am sorry if reality offends you) I'd like to hear how he plans to translate strong showings (particularly in our community) in South Carolina but no electoral votes into strong showings with electoral votes all around the country.
