U either represent urban culture, or Bush.
ZILLA THA GOODFELLA:
hmmm, aiight...let's see here...
Ronald Reagan, who Bush wants so hard to be. He did nothing 2 solve the crack problem of the 80s, except launch the inadaquate "just say no" campaign. Reagan believed that drug use was a personal decision, and that the government had no business trying to help those who needed it.
What did Reagan think of the 5% of African Americans who had used crack? They made their choice, and they should face the consequences, without his help. Disgusting.
He had the same opinion of those infected with aids. Some in his whitehouse(and some say Reagan himself) believed that aids was a plague sent by god to punish homosexuals.
Some politicians lie. But there are venerable RFKs, passionate MLKs, and the occasional courageous Cesar Chavez out there. We just have to believe that they are there and find them.
Let me add this too...it's really fucking obvious right now who's from places like East Oakland, and who's never seen a place like East Oakland.
I mean the overwhelming majority of city dwellers voted Democrat in 2000.
Perhaps the man who understood the nation's urban problems most, was Robert Kennedy. He too was a democrat. He was the first white politician to visit Watts after the riots... he visited every ghetto in new york, and every illegal immigrant labor camp in Cali. Do you really think that Bush is in the tradition of RFK?
U either represent urban culture, or Bush. There is no middle ground.
