    One additional comment on Obama: while he has been the object of much racist prejudice of the kind you describe, sadly this must not distract us to his continuing role in promoting the imperalism of the 1%, including an “improved” if not exactly “new” assassination program.

    Nice post Antipanglossian! I do think that the old ethnic/nationalist divisions aren’t working so well to keep the global 99% hopelessly divided. Although the hatred between Greeks and Turks on Cyprus shows how much we still have to overcome.
