Robert Jensen on quotas and white privilege

After delivering his talk titled "The Color of the Race Problem is White" at Sedition Books (http://www.seditionbooks.org ) in Houston the evening of 16 September, 2009, Robert Jensen answered questions. This is one. The sound quality leaves something to be desired, because fans were full tilt as it was a warm evening in a packed house. You can see the entire talk on Vimeo, at http://www.vimeo.com/6637315, or you can see an earlier presentation in Austin with better sound at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aH-WSqanyQ

Wally James tells us that the talk will broadcast on KPFT 90.1 FM show Progressive Forum Thursday evening, 8-10 PM, October 1, 2009. The microphone in front of Bob is Wally's so the sound will be vastly better! Art

@pme1691 pt2. jesse and others are all supremacists. this guy has an agenda, to topple the capitalist system by putting a bunch of charity entitlement quota babies in positions of power so they can take wealth away from the rich and successful and "equalize" things by redistributing the wealth to all his minions with him and his kind on top like castro and his cronies. white elites are the problem, who the fuck is obama +michelle? oh they are the poor +suffering? he's wrong on the present!

@pme1691 i am blak and i fully agree with u to a degree. first of, his basic premise is right about HISTORY and white supremacy is the foundation of the race issue. the problem is that esp since 1995 (w/ bill clinton, the first "blak" president), the real issue is NOT white supremacism but power SUPREMACISM. blaks with power act as obnoxious as the white counterparts. blak business owners dont give it up. you think oprah is not a power supremacist? michael jordan or jesse jackson?
