I suppose Comrade Cox would have made a similar argument in the mid 
1980s concerning the distribution of Crack:

"I keep coming back to my suspicion that most conspiracist thinking 
is deeply racist. One can't believe that some Black guys could have 
pulled off such a marvelous feat as creating a multi-billion dollar 
drug industry out of whole cloth right under the government's nose. 
Must have been those brilliant white men in D.C."

Solidarity,
Shawn

CB: I agree with Comrade Shawn.   As a Black person and an anti-racist activist 
I find this one to be off.  Also, I donât know of one Black person who thinks 
itâs racist to posit US influence in whatever happened on 9/11.  Furthermore, 
the most direct racism would be blaming 20 Arabs if they didn't do it or making 
the front for something that involved Americans. Certainly, it increases 
anti-Arab racism in the US.  
For one thing,  bin Laden was one of Reaganâs âfreedom fightersâ while 
the US was supplying the reactionary terrorist gang, 
counter-revolutionaries/contras in Afghanistan with shoulder stinger missiles 
and other high tech weaponry that allowed them to defeat the Soviet Army which 
was supporting a revolutionary government in Afghanistan not unlike the one in 
Nicaragua that had to deal with contras. Anyway, once a CIA property always a 
CIA property, so do we know that bin Laden is not still some kind of US agent ? 
 Heâs a reactionary and Bush is a reactionary. Birds of a feather.   And if 
we ask âCui bono ? â about 9/11, both Bush and US imperialism and bin Laden 
and Islamic reaction benefited from it.  Bush was able to get everything he 
wanted from Congress under the pall of 9/11 terror and fear, and Reaganism got 
a few extra years of life out of it.  Bushâs attack on the two Middle Eastern 
countries was exactly what bin Laden wanted to ramp up more hatred of the US 
and recruit more people to his reactionary movement.     Why is it that Bush 
has failed to capture bin Laden , âdead or alive ?â Why is it that bin 
Laden seems to release video tapes at times when the impact of them on US 
politics benefits the US righwing ? All this is circumstantial evidence as far 
as the specifics of the physics of the Towers falling and all that.  But it is 
a reason not to dismiss suspicions about the official story of 9/11, whether it 
means considering 9/11 lite theories or otherwise.
