Polling has shown that the Black community voices a substantially higher level of antiwar sentiment than other communities. Why hasn't this sentiment translated into support for (the, an, any) antiwar movement? It certainly hasn't in Detroit, as the results of last weekend's demo shows.

Wondering what insights people have on this, Alan Jacobson

P.S. Why are we doing post-mortems on the antiwar movement anyway? Isn't the occupation going to raise huge contradictions that we can use to organize around?
