[lbo-talk] What Too Few Progressives are Prepared to Discuss

[c b]

Glen Ford has said a lot about race -- though he was never a supporter
of Obama so maybe he doesn't count. Ford's view is taht Obama is a
serious _problem_ for the Black left just because so many Blacks
support him. But then that is only a more intense variation on the
'problem' all DP presidents & presidential candidates have always
presented for leftists -- e.g. Gene McCarthy, George McGovern, etx.
Those who might be really bulking up the left are always putting their
hopes in one war criminal or another. At least earlier ones didn't
brag about having someone murdered. They often at least pretended to
not be scum.

Carrol

^^^^^
CB: I guess for Carrol there is no coherent "left" but there is a
coherent "Black left".   Anyway, Obama may be a "serous problem" for
Glen Ford, but not for "The" Black left as a whole or for all Black
leftists.

Let the anti-O left squirm and boviate ( lol)
