Robert Jensen at Book People
Heart of Whiteness:
Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege
The Heart of Whiteness offers an honest and rigorous exploration of
what Robert Jensen (a UT Journalism professor and Third Coast Activist
Resource Center board member) refers to as the depraved nature of
whiteness in the United States. Mixing personal experience with data
and theory, he faces down the difficult realities of racism and white
privilege. He argues that any system that denies non-whites their full
humanity also keeps whites from fully accessing their own.
Jensen's book is both a cautionary tale for those who believe that they
have transcended racism, and also an expression of the hope for genuine
transcendence. When white people fully understand and accept the
painful reality that they are indeed "the problem," it should lead
toward serious attempts to change one's own life and join with others
to change society.

In his state of the union address, president gasbag bush said  "We're
winning the war on terror..."

When you consider that:
1) 300 thousand million (billion) US dollars have been lost in the Bush
regime's illegal, deception based, bloody invasion of Iraq;
2) that more than 2200 American boys & about 100,000 Iraqis have been
killed, plus approx. ten times those numbers crippled for life;
3) the fact that anarchy is everywhere in Iraq, and that things have
never been worse for the Iraqi people - most of whom want the American
troops to get the hell out of their country;
4) and that the Bush regime has pissed on both constitutional law, and
international law ---

One might wonder what the hell could Bush be thinking.

The answer is the "we" that he's referring to are the bastards who rule
the defense & oil corporations who get huge chunks of those hundreds of
billions and want to see Iraq colonized. Them & the  bastards in the
pentagon - who want perpetual war - the miserable wretches are in their
own sick & perverted way,  'winning' . They are getting exactly what
they want - more money and more power. Of course their money is soaked
in blood, but they don't care about that.  The 'Goliath' that they
represent will most certainly fail miserably  - and when it does, all
the king's horses & all of their goofy men, won't be able to get their
sorry asses up & in power again.

The fools in power in the white house and pentagon think the solutions
that have worked in the past should also work in the present. They are
grossly mistaken.  The time worn solutions of lying, killing, cheating,
stealing, bombing, conquering and dividing and lying about it all,
will not work any more, nor will those methods work in the future. The
average American citizen is far more honest, decent, and respectable
than most of the present national politicians - with their blood soaked
hands.

Politicians who think that their job is to serve the super rich, while
exploiting the poor and ignorant, who think they are destined to rule
the people, to act as if they were the people's masters, will fail
miserably. This will increasingly be the case as time goes on.

The time has come for the politicians to serve the people, to stand for
peace & justice. Only the politicians who want to be servants of the
people will succeed.  Very soon, we'll be forever free from
warmongering bastards and the wars and misery that the unbridled lust
for more money and power that they represent, creates.
------------

"The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to
make the innocent [the Iraqi people look] guilty and to make the guilty
[Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld look] innocent, and that's power. Because they
control the minds of the masses."  Malcolm X

==========================

The US mainstream news media are the megaphones of a private club of
insanely greedly billionaires. Their top priority is to amass more and
more wealth and to maintain the
old order, where the rich get richer and the peasants get pissed upon.
They love money more than anything else and don't mind a bit, if it's
soaked in the blood of children and women.
They can not be trusted. To find the truth people must turn to
alternative news sources.

We need the truth, because it is what will set us free - from
warmongering bastards like Bush, Cheney, & Rumsfeld.

It's time for the power to pass out of the hands of tyrannical blood
suckers, and into the hands of the people. Bush is a miserable failure
and so are ALL the politicians who support his wicked ways.

people wake up,- who are sick and  tired of president gasbag - bush and
his gang of psycho gasbags.

In the last few years, Bush has got the blood of about a million people
on his filthy nasty hands. That figure includes those who've been
crippled for life, all so that some of  his outrageously sleazy bastard
friends can gather up more bloody money!

The Bush regime has earned it's  place in world history, right  next to
other genocidal, highly deceptive lunatic groups,  like the Hitler
regime.

And that's just fine with the bozo patriots - who equate it all with a
ball game, and stupidly cheer their misleaders.  "Our side - right or
wrong. Raah Raah--- We don't bother to think about it, our great
leaders Dick &  Dubya do that for us."

The USA has almost hit rock bottom. I anxiously await the total
collapse of the gambling casinos - that they call stock markets. When
it crashes, it will be a good thing. From the ashes, a new economic
system that serves the people will be built.  From the ashes, a new
world will be built, a world where war, unbridled greed, corrupt
politicians, abject poverty and needless hunger have no place. That's
much more than a dream.

It is very stupid of us to let bastards like Bush,Cheney & Rumsfeld
strut around, when they should be confined in steel and concrete cages
- and maybe in charge of keeping the prison toilets clean.
