The difference was that the races were reversed. However, to understand this point is also to admit that despite their having suffered many injustices, blacks in a position of power are just as capable of perverting justice as the worst of Jim Crow whites." Bill has given us the whole problem. It is not the truth but the Will to admit it's the truth that matters. And the curse of the Duke hoax was that Brodhead, the NC NAACP, Nancy Grace, the New York Times, etc. did NOT possess then and do NOT possess now the Will to admit this. And, as Perkinson has just proven, neither does he. This lack of Will is the same thing that scared me in the OJ murder trial, in the Duke hoax, and that scares me now as Barack ("Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn about 'God DAMN America') Obama wins the Democratic nomination is this terrifying Will of so many to NOT admit the truth. Facts make no difference, common sense, honesty, etc. Only ideology. Ideologically blinded people admit only to is that which justifies their blindness. Pile the mountains of evidence up to the heights of the Himalayas - it makes no difference. The ideologically blinded will merely walk past it, tapping their white canes and see nothing. Bill nailed it. It is not the truth, but the WILL to admit the truth which matters. If that Will turns its back on the truth and goosesteps off in the opposite direction, we can not make them see they're wrong, we can only see to defending ourselves against that wrong. And to warning the world, as Bill has just done, to that wrong. Warning that that Will is powerful - and, if we do nothing, say nothing, it will triumph. (But, of course, Leni Riefenstahl's film could tell you that.) Edited by Carolyn says, Jun 17 2008, 03:19 PM.
