Quote of the Week (and it's only Tuesday)

"While it’s true that hope has always been the predicate for Black resistance, I’m deeply skeptical of the idea that an Obama victory represents resistance to anything except a legitimate Left-wing movement. Unlike slave revolts, where Black people used faith and hope to animate their escape from oppressive circumstances, the Obama campaign merely represents the opportunity to elect a Black man as boss of the plantation. "
