Between Barack and a Hard Place: Challenging Racism, Privilege and Denial in the Age of Obama

[freshwest]

2. These are the people I spoke of many times before, who suffered and died without healthcare in quiet

but Obama heard them and saw them. There are so many millions that are invisible to media. They are worthy of equal care, yet they are constantly demonized by media.

If you had time to listen to the entire video or read the entire transcript (thanks, BTW) you will see they are not the trouble makers, not the ones who bankrupt this society and world. But every petty excuse to say they are the problem, has been used for years. So dishonest, so unjust and hypocritical to pull up the safety net and grants to give opportuntiy and say no more, by others who have benefitted.

It's why I can't stand those who want it gone as they got the benefit for all their lives or from generations past, and still cry victim, even being creative and cynically stealing from the civil rights movement for people of color to describe their sudden misery, or so they say.

They don't know the meaning of the word.
