"An Opportunity to Look at Ourselves and Reorder Our Priorities" - Legendary Activist Grace Lee Boggs on the Ailing Economy, the Legacy of Dr. King and the 2008 Race

As we head out of Dr. Martin Luther King Day into the South Carolina Democratic primary, the Democratic presidential contenders repeatedly invoke Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy in their campaigns. We speak with Grace Lee Boggs, the legendary 92-year-old civil rights activist, who has been pivotally involved with the civil rights, black power, labor, peace, environmental justice, Asian American and feminist movements. Bogg recalls King's legacy in terms of "a radical revolution of values against the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism." [includes rush transcript--partial]

Another niggah bites the dust. Sweet Jesus how you let these coons build themselves up only to be taken out is beautiful. I praise the Lord in the sure and certain knowledge that soon the most popular vid on the tube is gonna be the take down of mister Barak Obama. Another lone nut? Dont you believe it. The good Lord works in mysterious ways to control his untermensch. What happens when you put a cross on a bullet? You get a dum dum bullet.

Praise The Lord
