Re: [Pen-l] Obama and the Cult of Personality

  Why is it then that many blacks obviously support US imperialism? Anyway as you yourself admit Japan was imperialist. Is there some gene in blacks that makes them anti-imperialist? Obama is mixed blood, so I guess his imperialism comes from the white side! White imperialists also exploit the white working class but you are right that often the working class in advanced capitalist countries is able to have a superior standard of living because of exploitation of non-whites in less developed countries.
