Why So Few Blacks involved with KOS?

This little statement would about sum it up:

Markos may live in Oakland, but it's not 1968, and he's not hanging out with Fred Hampton and Huey P. Newton and there will be no slow motion or still life of Markos Moulitsas Zúniga strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving for just the proper occasion. We're not a fringe group. We're the mainstream.

Umm yeah, that's a good idea. Let's insult the black left by not only talking shit about Fred Hampton, shot in his bed by the Chicago PD under the COINTELPRO program, but also teh Black Panter Party for self defense, who for all their faults were out there trying to make a profound change in America while most KOSITES were probably in their diapers. And to write this during the week where many conscious black people are meditating on the birthday of Marcus Garvey who gave us our beloved RED BLACK AND GREEN, shows the extreme lack of respect and I'll say it, rank racism on the part of mainstream white liberalism.

And people why I keep "those folk" at an arms length.
